I have some 1911 mags that my dad gave me. They had been stored in his web gear for years. I was wondering if anyone knows when they were made or who made them?

The have markings on the bottom of each mag
19200-
ASSY 5508694
MFR. 1M291
Just kind of interested where they came from.
Dad doesn't remember when he was issued them.

I got this by going through ACALA-TACOM site to... http://pro-net.sba.gov/pro-net/search.html and entering the cage code (1M291) in the appropriate space, way down toward the bottom of the page where you can search for specific contractor.

Fun site........lots of tank n airplane and small arms stuff.

IIRC, those are 1970's Vietnam era contract magazines. I once knew who made them, but I am blank on it now. They are OK.

Thanks guys. Hard to believe the old man carried them around in Vietnam, but odds are he did. Heck I have the 1911 flap holster he used over there.
