The look like the old style triangle T mags, are they marked Mec-Gar?

They aren't marked as Meg-Gar, I thought Meg-Gar was the supplier for Tanfo mags.  So, what does this mean? Are they worth anything to anyone or to problematic?

Mecgar makes the "new style" mags for Tanfoglios which are a matte black finish, the "old style" were glossy black or chrome, stamped with a rounded triangle around a T.  The difference for 45/10/38 is not as significant as 40/9; the old style 40/9 mags had a spacer at the front and didn't work worth a damn whereas the new style Mecgar mags have the spacer at the rear and work perfectly, it was a game changer for Tanfoglios 40/9.

The for 45/10/38, the only difference is the stiffness of the mag body which is a plus when packing them tight, and the feed lips which have a slightly different design, but should work fine if tuned properly.

Thanks for the info Atlas.

I bought 5 un-used old style 38s mags for $50 from GB auction incl shipping. They don't feed 9mm reliably, but are great dedicated dry fire mags!
