Early Sear or a Fake

[John Beard]

This sear appears to be an early type1 with no hole under spring but is marked with an "S" which is from a type 6(?) that should have a hole if I'm not mistaken. Can someone verify or deny this info. Thanks.

RCS is correct. Early sears had a drain hole in the spring well. You have a pre-WWI sear made at Springfield Armory, but not one that is real early.

Hope this helps.
