Definitely have to go with Springfield for the bottom safety. Top is Winchester, perhaps. Still up in the air over dates, though.

[Bill Hollinger]

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 get it, because I only have 8 posts, right?

[Rick B]

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. Rick B

[Bill Hollinger]

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

[Bill Hollinger]

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".

[Bill Hollinger]

Oh, I didn't catch that! I could have cheated!!! ;>)
