I just got done cleaning my mags from the SG deal, and I was able to identify all of them but one.  I don't have any pics yet, but hopefully I can get some soon.  The mag in question has lots of little markings all over it and up a down the spine.  Most of them are unrecognizable, but it does have a few really good markings.  On one side of the spine there is a 10 inside of a circle and not too far from it, the letters CB inside of a diamond.  On the other side of the spine, there appears to be a half star.  Close to the bottom appears to be a Y or maybe a lambda  stamp.  At first it looked like all the other Euro mags, until I saw all these markings.  If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to know what you think.  Thanks.

The star leads me to believe it is a Russion mag. Does it has circle shaped marks on the feed lips?

If it has a 10 in a circle it probably is bulgarian.  If it does have a star on it it is probably russian.  Like matthewdanger said look at the feed lips.

The CB inside of a diamond pretty much insures it is Russian and is commonly seen on them (letters vary). If you have also a 10 within DOUBLE CIRCLES, then you have an anomaly that will require a pic. I bet your 10 is in a single circle, or perhaps an oval of sorts, right?

Yes, the 10 in a circle is actually more ovalish.  I couldn't tell if its was a oval or just a bad stamping.  It is not the double circle 10 Bulgarian mags, those marks look alot different.  Hopefully, I will be able to gets some pics up tomorrow.

Thought so.

No need to trouble yourself with taking pics unless you just want to show it off. It's Russian.
