Your mag marked with a "B" is manufactured by Barnes & Kobert, fairly common post WWI mag.
Your mag marked with a small "a" is manufactured by American Pin Company, a VERY rare WWI M1911 magazine.....................it's worth some bucks, Dude!
As a collector, it's been modified, no matter how long ago, it's not original. That price is a little high in my book but if you really like, go for it. Might as well go ahead and re-blue it and make it pretty with new grips. Then use it as a shooter, not a safe queen.
I've always tried to keep it to a minimum.

Born and raised in a small mill town west of Asheville. Lived here in this communist republic for about 12 years now since I retired. Miss my mountains, miss my FREEDOM! Love my kids and grandkids more though. That's why I stay.
I dug through my stuff and finally found the little critter I was talking about...it's not a Streamlight and it will fit a .22 barrel. It's a Coast PX7 LED Bore Inspection Light. The pin batteries (2) were dead so I replaced them and it works fine again. Amazon has them for 19.95
Howdy neighbor! Hang on tight, this is an "E" ticket ride.
E ticket is a Disneyland reference. You had to have an E ticket to get on the good rides. A, B, C, and D were lame.
True, Asheville is a liberal, gay loving town but it is surrounded by hardcore rednecks and bluedog democrats. Everybody has guns and keeps them handy.
Waaay back when I was young and raising hell, I met a guy my age from Transylvania County. He wanted to drag race down Main Street in Canton one night. I told him the Canton cops would bury him under the jail for something like that. He said, "Ya oughtta come overta BREEvard, thar ain't no...
Asheville is my home town. The guy who said this is a wannabe cop. He was never even a Sheriff's Deputy. I highly doubt he'll get elected. He has run for city council AND mayor several times but never gets in. You'll probably never hear from him again after this.
I have an old Streamlight Stylus. It will fit my .308 barrel.
I google checked and found they make a new one that is just as small in diameter but longer.
