The production code # on the label doesn't match the Magna Classic though. You may have one of the over-runs. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will contribute. You found a VERY nice 44 for a starter. Enjoy.

Those combats look like factory to me as well. 2nd Gen thinner (flattened) ones that I believe, go for quite a bit on their own.
In addition to what 75vette said, the Magna Classics also had such noted on the barrel, there was no mistaking them.
I think it's neat that yours doesn't have the ".44 Magnum" on the underlug. It looks a lot cleaner that way.
