another dug magazine for MP to ID

Please compare your mag with these four, they are also without holes.

Hello Gianluigi,

I don't have it here because I'm at the office, but it looks like the one at the bottom of the picture. It doesn't have the holes for bullet count though.

I noticed anyway that this mag looks exactly like the one posted by Bill?

Hi Matt, the four magazines are all for Sten 9mm, with or without holes. Can you try a bullet to check if it is .45 or 9mm?

[Zeller]

Yes I can check that! I will do it after work
Sten would make more sense, since they were supplied to partisans

Yes, this is exactly what I think. Can you say where it was found?

[Zeller]

I just checked and tested it with one ammo from my licensed 1911 and the .45 case is too large to fit. I tested it with a 9mm and it is perfect.

It's a strange one Matt! Personally I still think it's an MP40 mag. If not it must be a Sten.

I've got both a sten and Mp40 mags, and the only apparent difference is the holes up the side of the Sten and is slighty chunkier than the mp40 mag.

Sten - 38mm
Mp40 - 32mm

[Zeller]

Mine is 31mm

[Johnny-D]

Mine is probably the same underneath the rust!

I think it's an MP40 Mag mate! Final answer!!

25,000 U.S. M3 machine guns were made in 9x19mm for the OSS. Could this be a 9mm M3 mag dropped to the Yugo rebels by the OSS?

It sure looks like an M3 mag.....
