Will it be the one you receive if it's being sold online or will you get a similarly marked swivel?

Ten,
Not a highly trusted seller.
I was just asking if it was thought to be original.
I don't have any pictures saved to compare it to.

It looks convincing initially but I was thinking the G is skinnier than that. The G and the S I in my memory are a little pointier, or more elliptical. Never was too good at swivels.

Doesn't look right to me either. The letters are wrongly placed as well as not being quite the correct font. With the amount of "corrosion" on the metal, the lettering is far too sharp. The stamping is through the pitting. The pitting should be cutting the edges of the letters, not the other way around.

When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

Charlie, I was looking for something on my computer today and found this picture. I'd saved it on 9/16/12 and the filename is "Repro S'G' sling swivel." Look at the K and the missing hyphen. The second picture is of a UP swivel that I believe is real. It looks the same as the one on my S'G'. Would one of those work for your carbine and be any easier to find, or are they being faked too? - Bob

Seems I had a KV-S'G' Swivel that was deemed real on the old CSP, but do believe that was 1 of 2 I've lost over the years.
But I can't locate the picture now. Might have been in a file on another computer that no longer resides here.
I'm no good with Swivels. Last 2 I know what they are, both from NORTHRIDGE.

Here's another one from Milsurps (2011) that looks like it could be real. - Bob
