Early magazines

To start with, these are not for sale.
I picked these up from another collector, and I am now their current
Caretaker. They are original, unplated with boxes!
They appear unused.
I didn’t purchase them to complete a certain gun, but I would be curious to know more about these.
To be honest, I wish I had started collecting rugers much sooner, because this
Has been a fun journey.

Wow that is pretty cool, you don’t see that everyday… nice score!

Thanks for the pics. I notice the follower buttons are smaller than usual. The first time I seen a button like that was on an early short slot two-tone mag. It looks like sometime during the two-tone mag production they went to the larger button.

Many years ago I looked at Red Eagle #0221 but it was sold before I could buy it because eating and keeping a roof over us was more important than buying that pistol. I can't remember what the magazine looked like but the finish on the entire piece was rough. The grips were beat and most of the red was gone from the medallion.
