Type 1A swivel marked "UP"

Hello David ! Long time no speak. Great to hear from you. Pics should explain what you want to know. Club have a data sheet on it and Brian Q has some pics. Mikey. N.Z.Attachment 23804Attachment 23805Attachment 23806

Thanks Mikey, I have 1768802 with a 3-43 Underwood barrel and also with a UP swivel in the white. Best regards,

David

I've got a Saginaw S'G' carbine s/n 1829338 with this same swivel, but the band is different. The band has 3 spot welds and it's marked U. There's no finish and it shows some rusting. Is it uncommon to see a U marked band on an S'G'? Thanks - Bob

Good pics thanks. I'd rather look at Carbine stuff bearing a little rust than that which looks like it was made yesterday !. If we are talking about bands, and swivels this week, I wonder if you folk could keep an eye on the tip shape, and colour, of the barrel band retaining spring that accompany them. There's a few of us collecting info on this. We might learn something if enough data is collected. Thanks. Mike.

Thanks Mike. The band spring in my picture is probably the original. Is the one I pictured the one that's referred to as a "chisel" tip? I'd like to know more about these too. - Bob
