Default Help ID these magazines

These came from an estate sale. They hold 10 rounds of .22lr. Not branded anywhere as to what they are. Can anyone ID them? Thanks.

Very upright design suggestive of a French Unique. Could the magazine take 32 ACP instead of .22 LR? Maybe from a Spanish Ruby?

No .32, definitely a .22 cal.

Unique Model 52 (I think!)
Probably a Triple K repro

Unique Model 52 22LR 10RD MAGAZINE 383M | Handgun Grips

You have to wait for a sec or two for the pic of the magazine to actually appear in the ad for some dazzling reason. Then click on the pic for a bigger view.
Not exactly cheap either!


IIRC, these won't fit the more common JC Higgins Model 85 / Unique D2 (?)
About an 1/8" difference in OAL length of the mags and they won't lock in place correctly when switched with the heel style mag latch used on both pistols.
