Good question. There are actually two different 7 round magazines.
One is for the non rail 3913TSW/CS9. The other is for the early 3913 Lady Smith. That one has a metal bottom plate.
This is what the body of the early 3913 Lady Smith magazine looks like.
This magazine is the same overall length as the 8 round 3913/908 magazines, but it only holds 7 rounds.
The pre rail 3913TSW/CS9 magazine has a shorter body and will only hold 7 rounds. It also has a plastic bottom plate.
I don't have a picture of one of those handy, but can take some if you want to see what that looks like.
If yours is a 3913 Lady Smith magazine, they are fairly rare and someone with a LS may well want to buy it from you.
The pre rail 3913TSW/CS9 magaizines are more common, but no where near as common as the regular 3913/908 magazines.

Over the last year, I've found two more 8 round mags and the 7-round mag you mentioned. The 7rounder fits and works perfectly.
I'm curious though...which 3gen was the 7rounder originally for? The CS9? Or was it original to all the early compacts, the 3913/908 models?
I'm not a mag accumulator. I have four useable mags for the 908s. But only two mags each for the other semis I own. But the 908 is the very last one I'd sell.
Thanks all for the education.
