Classic Firearms had a recent sale on what they claimed were original Inglis mage magazines for $18 each. I ordered a couple as those mags usually go for about 80 bucks or so. What I got appear to be well-made magazines but not sure they are Inglis made. The only markings I can see are on the floorplate, a "RA". The follower appears to be cast aluminum. Anyone know about magazines marked RA?

OP
I think less than $20 for a good Browning magazine is still a deal, even if not as advertised... but I might mention it to Classic!
RA stands for point of origin according to this sales pitch.

The gov't of India makes (made?) a copy of the Canadian Inglis HP at their Ordnance Factory @ Ishapore. Their Model designation was Pistol 9mm 1-A.
It's the fixed sighted model,,I don't think they ever made the tangent sighted edition.
They probably torch cut the frame out of plate just like the Inglis.
Of course they also made magazines for it during production
I suspect these are from one of their many Ordnance Factorys there in India. I don't recognize the marking, but they have betw 40 & 45 separate Ord Factorys to make most anything they need.
So,,my guess,,,,these are India mfg magazines for the India produced copy (Model A-1) of the Canadian Inglis HP pistol.
If they fit, work well, and are of decent mfg,,that's a great price IMO.
