    Here is a photo of an unmarked USGI Colt M1911A1 magazine and it's components. Extruded tube, welded floorplate. The first image is a linked image due to the forum's photos size restriction. I don't want to compromise the detail of the photo so I didn't resize it.

    Overall Detail Photo of Magazine

    Colt sub-contracted Stainless Steel magazines. From Left to Right:

    Metalform sub-contracted - Officer's size (6 round)
    Metalform sub-contracted - Government size (7 round)
    Metalform magazines have beaded blasted floorplates and the bottom end of the body is "frosted".

    Checkmate sub-contracted - Officer's size (6 round)
    Checkmate sub-contracted - Government size (7 round)
    Checkmate magazines have brushed floorplates without "frosted" bottom ends (body is all one finish)
