In the handwriting it looks more like "мог.", but I'm assuming it's "маг." ("магазине").

Note from asker:
| Thank you. Yes, it is a second-hand shop, and I would use this translation in less formal contexts. In this case, because it's an official document, I'm using 'official' terms. I'm paying attention to the Soviet realia and the fact that it's a Soviet (state-run) institution. |
Discussion
Wikipedia says the term "consignment" is not used in the UK for consignment shops (which would be a shop for UK too, right?)
So that would be some sort of second-hand shop, in general. Ultimately, it's up to Dylan to figure out what equivalent shops are called in the UK that sell [used] motorcycles
The document is: Технический Паспорт Мотоцикла.
if the record is about a car part, then it's either a pawn shop (комиссионный) or commercial store (коммерческий магазин), but the latter is kind of strange, since all stores/shops are pretty much commercial :)
