Paid $50.00 for it. I am noticing all of a sudden that Contractor Wrapped magazines are showing up at the gunshows. They usually are OM from 1970 and Borg Warner from 62, 63 and 68. This lone item was sitting in with lots of other makes.
There appears to be no packing date. The wrapper was manufactured by Seal Bag in Rochester, NY in 9/61. My guess is this magazine was packed with others in a master pack and the master pack may have been dated. I believe this magazine was delivered during rifle production so it was probably not delivered as a spare part. A certain amount of magazines (number unknown) were required for each rifle delivered.
Purchased it Friday night at the Valley Forge Convention Center Gunshow.
