Definitely have to go with Springfield for the bottom safety. Top is Winchester, perhaps. Still up in the air over dates, though.
Looks as if the back, top, is forged and the front is milled. I'll say are S/A one. Front one early, mid 1940 the rear mid, late 1939.
I won't answer,let's let the "newbies" figure it out.:D
Thanks M1Riflenut. That is why I turned all the lights off in the house, then sat down at the computer with a blind fold on and threw this dart! HeHeHe :madsmile: :D:yikes:
Mr. Hollinger was half right and Mr. Johnson was 100% correct on who made them but no time frame was given. The upper is a Winchester Educational order safety and pretty rare. These were used from the begining but not knowing the exact stopping date. They're pretty rare and a neat find.:beerchug: Rick B
Hum, I'm getting better! Thanks for the quiz posts Rick. At 1-1/2 correct answers under my belt I'm really having fun with this....and learning something also!
Rick you may want to use a more generic name for your next photo When you pass the mouse over the photo it says "Win safety early".:)
Oh, I didn't catch that! I could have cheated!!! ;>)
