Ron, I am in awe of the info you shared here.
To answer those questions, yes the mag pouch does in fact have the AE stamp on the inside of the flap. I don't know how I missed that except I wasn't looking for it.
As for the magazine in the pistol, it is an original type with the wood plug at the bottom and doesn't have any number on it. However even after looking at it carefully I could not find any proof mark. If they always put the proof on the mag, then it may have been swapped at some point in its life.
Anyway, thanks again to all!
