Got three factory mags with my 1006.

All three are later white follower and ES-1 marked.

All three are stamped different ES-1.

On (the right one in photos) has a different weld pattern, slightlt smaller roll mark, and stamped Accu Guide TM PATENT PENDING.

Any info on this?

TIA

I admit I have never heard of anybody trying to counterfeit these magazines. Of course I don't know everything, I just act like I do.

Someone trying to counterfeit a product would hardly put their own name on it, too.

My guess is that S&W contracted with them to manufacture magazines.

No imposters/counterfeits there. All 3 are S&W OEM mags,just made at different time periods/different manufacturers.

I guess imposter isn't the correct term.

Has anyone see this type of factory 10MM magazine is really the question?

S&W got many mags from Accu Guide so yes they are correct.

As the Guru of S&W magazines has pointed out, they are all the real deal. Accuguide was a trademark of S&W, which S&W started to use on certain magazines in the early-90's. The magazines without that trademark were produced either before the trademark was granted or after it expired.

There is more info about the Accuguide trademark in this thread: 4006 mag follower color

Thanks all.

Accu-guide was the 2 dimples Smith put in the top of the magazine to help align the cartridges.
