Hi Roger! I don't know about the first mag you described, but the second mag sounds like a current or recent production by MEC-GAR mag's....although they are not collectable, they are excellent for shooting and function! It would seem that their older production has a matte blue finish, and the new ones are shiny gloss blue with MEC-GAR stamped on the tube! till...later...G.T.

I concur with G.T. regarding mag #2. Mag #1 is a mystery. Phosphate follower? Hmmmmmm. Doesn't remind me of a specific type I have seen.

Sounds as though your first one with the phosphate tube, unmarked alum bottom and fully checkered follower button, could be post WW2 Danish. I agree with the others that the latter, is definately Mec-Gar. Total retail value new about $60.
