1. Glock mags are generally not marked with a date.
2. Federal law required that any "large capacity" magazine manufactured between 9/14/94 and 9/13/04 be marked to indicate "post-ban" manufacture. One of the acceptable methods was by imprinting "9/13/94".
3. Based on #1 and #2, a Glock magazine with the date of "9/13/94" imprinted on it IS a post-ban magazine.

CHSB or whatever they call themselves now is blowing hot and cold. Not long ago the word was that they would unrestrict after a year, or that they may have been game-able with a dog and pony show. Some of it might depend on how one constructs their "need" statement in their application. If you put a big dog and pony show in there, they might be less likely to hassle you.
For awhile they were also just lying to people, too... would go something like this:
Applicant: "So is my license going to be issued unrestricted?"
Smarmy state douche guy: " There shouldn't be any problem. "
(much time passes, guy gets envelope with license in it)
Applicant: "That f**king weasel lied to me- it says Hunting and Target on it. "
