[Paul Fitz Jones]

I have aat least a dozen cosmolined paper wrqpped WW2 GI 45acp Thompson or grease gun magazines as I forgot I had them when I sold my Thompson in the 50's and just found them buried in a pile of stuff in my barn They came in a wooden box and ask me about them at coffeyn1@juno.com

Magazines

Well I finally unwrapped one of the well wrapped magazines and they appear to be 9mm. Guess I will have to see what they fit.

More info

They are 10 inches long, an inch wide and 1 1/2 inches deep and weigh 13 ounces and are extremely strong.

I cleaned off some lettering and it says SPW GL and a C-serial of 6 numbers. Thr steel is double strength near the top.

Empty it is as strong as a billy club. I will have to find some 9MM to try in it

Interesting - - -

Are the mags single-position feed, or two-position?
