I bought a box of grips and magaines at a local estate this weekend. Not sure what these two go to. I think the longer one is 9mm and the smaller one is maybe 32 or 380? Any ideas what they fit?

    The latch on the 9mm looks like a Suomi M31 magazine from the Finnish military.

    DC is definately correct as to the Finnish mag...has the L in a shield and the SA in a box... Finn property markings.

    The smaller one looks like a magazine for the French MAB D pistol made in the 1940s. These mostly came in .32 but also in .380, although those usually have the earlier (1930s) or later (1950s-1980s) version of the magazine since the .380 was not in production most of the 1940s. In general, all versions of the MAB D magazine will fit all MAB Ds (of the same caliber).

    It would be helpful to see both sides of the magazine. If it is a MAB magazine the other side will have two slots in it.

    See GB auction #225347106 for photos of both sides of the MAB magazine.
