   Great experiences Bruce. I do volunteer work at the Illinois State Military Museum. Get to use my limited carpentry, masonry, and painting skills, in exhibit design and construction. Never built a castle though. One of the other vols was an F4 mech in Col. Robin Old’s wing! Thanks for your service.  Do you still have copies of your Auto Mag book available? I’m late to this Auto Mag collecting game. Jim

	Hi Jim. You seem to be a man of many talents. The cases look very well done. Yes, I still have some books, "Auto Mag the Pasadena Days" left. An autographed copy of the book, "Auto Mag the Pasadena Days" is $45 which includes USPS Priority Mail shipping to anywhere in the USA. Also, APO's and FPO's. Please send payment to my Pay-Pal account number, bestark@ix.netcom.com Please make sure I receive your address as Pay-Pal does not always provide it. Thank you.........Bruce Stark.........(818)-988-5478 About the MGC Auto Mag toys, I tried to collect them all but maybe not. I will list the ones I know of. 1) Black. 2) High polished silver. 3) Brushed silver 4) Blued. 5) Black but weighted, to feel like a real Auto Mag. 6) Clear plastic Auto Mag. 7) Black weighted frame and high polished barrel extension, upper. 8) High polished silver that uses FLON, freon and oxygen, to propel the plastic bullet instead of a cap. The FLON is contained in the magazine. They may have made a few different versions of this one, but they sold very quickly, and I missed out. They also made holsters and magazine loading tools for the gun. Bruce

	Thank you Bruce, I’ll do the paypal in a bit. Your book won’t cover mine I’m afraid, it is an AO69xx serial number range. The barrel has High Standard on the left and TDE on the ejection port side. Has an El Monte “smile” bolt. It has been polished. Disappointing because the black etch has been polished out, lettering is still there but doesn’t stand out. Obviously a victim of the old foam demon. It came with a broken original case, but I fixed that, tools and oil bottle though. Think this puts it in the 1975 timeframe. Your book will still be a nice edition to my collection. Thanks in advance. Jim

	Some of my print materials collection. Especially happy to find an original Guns & Ammo, from 1958 that introduced the “.44 Automatic” cartridge. A cartridge that waited more than a decade for a pistol!

	Going to a cartridge show in St. Louis April 18th to look for original Auto Mag ammo. I have about 300 rounds of original CDM, some SBR, and 50 rounds from a niche company called Rebel.

	Ians website was a great help in identifying the original magazines, articles, and books that reference the Auto Mag.

	I did get to that St. Louis cartridge show. However, only scored a single Norma head stamped .44 Auto Mag cartridge. Saw some original Cor Bon ammo on GB, with a reserve not met and a buy it now at $500; for a few boxes I think. Still on the hunt.
