That was the last version of the German SIG mags imported prior to the AWB. Of the SIG SAUER marked mags, the one on the extreme left w/ 'smaller dovetails' and 'stitchwelds' is the newest, and is EXACTLY what was provided with my NIB 'KE' (1994) W.German P226. Looking at your pics, I draw the following conclusions: Prior to the AWB, all SIG OEM mags imported to the US were manufactured by SIG (JP Sauer & Sohn - Made in Germany) and bear the SIG 'Triple S' Triskelion mark. I believe the Checkmate P226 mags were marked 'Made in USA'. Going forward all SIG OEM mags were SIG 'Made in Italy' (by Mec-Gar), until much later (2013?) when Checkmate became an alternate supplier for SIG OEM mags (in addition to Mec-Gar). After the AWB, NONE of the SIG (Made in Germany) with the SIG 'Triple S' Triskelion mark were imported to the US. They were either manufactured by SIG (JP Sauer & Sohn - Made in Germany) and bear the SIG 'Triple S' Triskelion mark, or by Mec-Gar, which wee marked 'Made in Italy'. All SIG OEM mags sold during the AWB were marked 'Restricted Law Enforcement / Gov't Use Only'. That said, everything 'nra-life-member' posted seems correct, but I'll state it a little differently, and with some add'l detail as follows: Regardless, I suggest some further introspection would be justified if you're considering a move from a 'Free State' to a Ban/commie State. Well, you may not be overthinking it, but you're not seeing some of the obvious things that have been shared by other members here.
