Most likely post ban based off caliber stamp height.

Not necessarily true!
I suggest the OP try reading the thread on Glock mags in the MA Gun Law sub-forum.
That picture isn't adequate to answer the question. And high markings are a red herring . . . plenty of pre-ban mags with high markings.
I have some pictures that contradict the high caliber marking claims I'll try to dig them up.

I'm 100% with Len, but do want to add one thing.
The only Glock mag that I know to unequivocally, unarguably be pre-ban are the U notch mags.
All the rest are debatable, which won't hold up in court.
I carry U notch mags for another reeason. I'm left handed and i do NOT want a drop free mag, since I don't carry a spare mag and about once a year, while shooting my Glocks, the mag will disengage when the slides under my trigger finger during recoil. Although this hasn't happened since I switched to Gen 4s, I'd still prefer the mag to stay in the gun.
A side benefit is that nobody could ever say its a post ban mag.
The down side is that some people have reliability issues iwth them wiht newer pistols and also they tend to split, although this doesn't affect their function.

You should always carry a spare mag!
But, yes, I am a lefty shooter, and like the non-drop free ones for the very same reason.
Related,
I have seen 9 round .40 mags with LE/MIL markings....what the hell is the status of those?
The real question is, who cares? Don't be stupid with your gun and no one will ever know the pre/post ban status of your magazine. F*ck Massachusetts laws and the people who make them.
I know I should. But the Glocks are so freaking reliable with factory ammo. Before I started reloading I could go years without a malfunction.
And even now. Its only when I'm trying new loads that a Glock ever seems to fail me. In my Gen4 G19, once I upgraded a U notch mag with a follower from a current production mag and a Wolff spring in it, the G19 has been 100% with the U Notch mags.

I seem to remember Fred (Glock Tech) telling me that they were different followers used in the U-notch mags vs. more modern ones. My rebuilt U-notch mag followers aren't marked the same as the newer vintage pre-ban mag followers.
