I have seen W.l. on the flat of the pin that is USGI.

I have also seen C l on the flat of the pin. The lever looks original but it's the only one I've seen like that. Not that I get to see that many.

The one I'm looking at has a "KI" (I think) on the flat of the pin and a "W.I." on the curve of the lever.

Just learn from these guys Rocky ! They all know what they are talking about. We await some pics of all this stuff you see ? and ........we all know about the folks who go "fishing". The Golden Rule is, "If it don't look and smell 60-65 years old it probably is not". Your pics would assist sensible and constructive discussion. Mike.Attachment 19696

Springfield Armory assembled a lot just before closing in 1968. There were no markings, but the quality was much higher than the commercial stuff. I got a few hundred circa 76-77, new in SA wrap.

Two disconnector levers.
First one has W.l. on the pin, second has C l on the pin. Both have W.l. on the lever.

There are a couple of ways you can post photos here Rocky.

You can upload your photos to a second party web site such as Photobucket and insert a link to the photo and the photo appears in your post -
* Click the 'Go Advanced' button under the reply area at the bottom, and then choose the 'Insert Image' button (Framed tree)

Or upload photos here directly from a file on your computer to get a 'thumbnail' in your post that viewers may click to expand the photo.
(There is a given specific total size limit of photos with this method using a free membership)
* Click the 'Go Advanced' button under the reply area at the bottom, and then choose the 'Attachments' button (Paper clip)

Remember to use the 'Preview Post' button at the lower right of the advanced menu before you 'Submit Reply' so you'll be abke to see if you did it correctly.

It's easier than it sounds. Your only need to practice a couple of times and it gets easy.
