    Pinned magazine

    Help about a pinned full blue magazine, no letter on Heel such as L,R,S or G.
    There is a mark under looks like a double diamonds?
    It seems I saw this mark somewhere I can't remember.
    Thank you for your help.

    Got an answer, this kind of mark comes from a Ballester-Molina 1911 magazine.

    Sorry, I've been out of town a few days to a wedding.

    You have an early Ballester magazine. The symbol represents HA in a diamond; the stamp die missing one leg of the diamond. Not uncommon to see that leg missing. Aside, every British contract Ballester magazine I've thought original had that stamp.

    I've observed many over the yrs but not as many as the next series of F in an oval with serial numbers. Chuck Clawson told me once his sources in Argentina believed the F in an oval stood for the F in HAFDASA and the other letters would follow but production stopped before that happened.
