Need Help!!!! Lets play name that Magazine
So I recently acquired several older S&W magazines and holsters. I am trying to catalog the magazines so I can list them for sale. I have figured out most but there are a few throwing me for a loop. So lets start with the first one.
Its a single stack blue magazine with a metal follower and a plastic finger groove butt plate. If I had to guess I'd say its for a 9mm. There are no markings at all on this magazine.
Im almost positive it fits in a S&W semi auto. Anyone have any ideas what it fits and or who makes it...... all help will be appreciated!!!

If it is for an S & W, I would guess...a single stack 9 mm  . Like a model 39 or its descendants.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I don't think that's a magazine for any older S&W model.

I believe that that is an early S&W model 39 magazine that someone has put the base pad from an S&W 3913 on it. 3913 magazines never had metal followers, they were always plastic

Looks a lot like a Pro Mag manufacture of a 3913 magazine.

I would say it's definitely NOT an OEM S&W magazine. It might be an aftermarket one.
Early 39 magazines had a metal follower and a metal base plate. The follow was an odd looking, almost figure 8 design.

The ones that came with my 39 no dash are metal follower and baseplate.

Thanks for all the replies! Not sure if we got it yet.... Heres what new info i got.... Its definitely at 9mm and it holds 7 rds of ammo. I dont think its a pro mag only because as far as I can tell they never had metal followers. I have been trying to match pictures on google with no luck yet. any more help will be appreciated.
I added a few more pictures also

I hate to say it, but that looks suspiciously
like a National Magazine as far as quality...
which looks about as ****** as the rest of NM's
stuff.
Just my guess...how well does it work??

Ok last few pictures. Many of you think this will fit a 908 or 3913. Here is this mag next to a 8 shot factory 3913 mag. It seems the unknown mag is shorter from the notch up. It also has a different lip where it feeds into the gun. Not saying it still will not work.. just giving me doubt. Don't have any s&w semi autos to try it in
Thanks again and keep your ideas coming
