Scarce Pre-WW1 Springfield 1911 Magazine with Lanyard Loop

This is a scarce Pre-WW1 Springfield 1911 magazine. This early magazine has a two-tone finish, lanyard loop and unique only to Springfield manufacture, the lower edges of the mag fold over and slightly overlap the base plate. This magazine appears to have the early arsenal repair with bronze to the area behind the feed ramp. This fixed a cracking problem with very early 1911 magazines and is seen on many original examples. The magazine finish is in very good condition, normal patina and no surface oxidation or pitting. The spring is strong, functional and feeds correctly. A scarce and desirable variant of a magazine that fed the early Government 1911 .45 Auto.
