Any experts with a better eye than me?

NoKo mag?
China Mag early years non-export?
China Mag war export to Balkans?
Other?

Either way it was 10.00 in the paper wrap found it digging through a surplus box at a shop tonight on my way home late from work

The second pattern Chinese mag, the “Spine-Back Transitional,” is a unique design. The mag’s body is similar to the earlier mag but lacks the three short horizontal ribs that wrap around the bottom-back of the mag. The remaining two horizontal ribs along the bottom side of the magazines are much longer than normal and go from almost the very front to the very rear. Like the Sino-Soviet model, the body is phosphated while the follower, floorplate, and keeper are blued. The follower remains the Chinese stepped pattern. All the examples I have examined are unmarked, but its design is so unique that they are easy to pick out.

The nirvana of AK Bakelite collecting.

These were only issued to retire border guard soldiers upon completion of service. Never ever seen or heard of anyone having them in the states.

Even though I don't like green rifles, that is badass.

Yep 74s had my heart racing for a minute there. I’m a huge fan of plum. Had my Draco Full Plum and RiT dyed my US palms a perfect plum to match
