Can anyone identify these magazines? They are not marked and hold 8 rounds of 9mm, they fit a full-size 1911 perfectly but who makes them?

I searched the internet but came up dry. I did find one that had sold on Ebay and the seller said it was a hard to find Springfield magazine but I can't find any verification of this.

I'm looking to sell them but I need to know what they are first.

Thanks!

Look a lot like the magazines for my S&W model 39. Same design for a 'follower' too. They may be aftermarket, but they sure look familiar.
The followers are very close to early factory M39 mags, but the mag body and baseplate seem wrong for M39.....

The longitudinal depressions running up the mag body make me think these are intended for a bottleneck round, perhaps .30 Luger (though clearly not intended for a Luger postol).

Hmm, the more I think about it, I think these are likely aftermarket M39, the grooves are probably just to keep the follower from tilting.

I don't think these are model 39 mags.

Model 39 mags won't fit a 1911 and do not have a spacer in the back of the mags.

They may be 9mm 1911 mags but I've never seen any like these before.

I believe those are Springfield 9mm magazines. A friend bought a like new Springfield that had magazines very similar to those. You might contact Springfield and see what they say.
