On the current Gunrunner Auction site, lot #509, is a Winchester model 1905, .351 caliber magazine up for auction. Currently $120.00 bucks.
I have no horse in this race, but if I needed one I would pursue it, as it’s something not seen frequently!

Antonio, that is an aftermarket 10-round magazine for the Winchester Model 1907 351 WSL cartridge.
if it were a factory original magazine it would not have a separate, forward protruding baseplate. The factory originals do not have a separate baseplate.
I don’t know the current market price for an original magazine but twenty years ago it was about a hundred bucks.

Here is an original magazine for comparison.

Bill, Great information and good to make us all aware!
Even better to post an original for reference!

Like most of us, I have some scars in my wallet because I didn’t know enough before I bought something. If what little I know can spare a fellow member grief, it brightens my day.
We all know the collector’s warning, “when in doubt do without.” But I’ve learned the hard way that you have know a fair amount just to be in doubt!
This forum and my membership have saved me far more than the annual dues. I think of it as a BS vaccine.

Current pricing for original, Winchester 351 magazines: 5 round $75 to $125. 10 round $150 to $225. Condition is everything… The other calibers in this series can bring really crazy money…. 🙂
