Camera died after single picture will charge and post more if needed.
No markings anywhere. 
Cousin gave this to me. I don't have an AK but may have an excuse to get one once the BS ceases and the prices drop. "Xing fingers" Thanks for any help |

Quoted:
It looks like the Chinese design. Recently a lot of these style magazines were imported and everyone claimed they were Yugoslavian, but they are not. I've read several different scenarios about these magazines. One being that Yugoslavia bought China equipment that they used to make the magazines on. The other being that Yugoslavia had purchased a large quantity of mags from China many moons ago and that once something like this is in a country for so long that it is actually considered to be a product of that country and that is how they could get away with saying they were from Yugoslavia. I don't know the truth to either of these statements but I've read both of them posted on this site. |

I have some of the new"yugo" chinese mags and they are an exact copy of chinese mags I have from the earlly 90's. |
You have to understand that many vendors often use third countries to import country-specific banned items (such as how the "Bulgarian" Chinese backloading 75rd drum magazines came in). They have to state the magazines are "Yugoslavian" and even if you call them about the magazines being Chinese in origin, they will always say they're "Yugoslavian," even though they know, in order to do a little CYA action. So don't ding them on bringing in Chinese surplus magazines using the "Yugoslavian" route.
