Type 1A swivel marked "UP"

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
