No; we're hooked for life.

Somehow have about 30 of those International Silver Co clips. Most of the en-bloc clips I've got were derived in the 1970s. Saw a WEB page awhile ago with details, data and photos on collecting M1 Garand clips. Call me a nerd, but I found it interesting.

Bought two boxes of clips several years ago when Orest was selling them. Cleaned them up, sprayed oil on them, put them in gallon freezer bags, then large plastic bags, then in cardboard boxes, now out in the shed. Forget how many were in a lot, but there are hundreds and hundreds out there now. Some day, will have to dig them out and see if there are any collectibles hidden.

The different rib pattern and cut outs: I sold two IS about 3 years ago. The only two I have ever seen. They brought big money at the time.

Crap! At the same show a guy wanted to sell me a coouple IS(w/number) for $2 ea. I didn't they were rare(?)

They are not rare, they are common. The ones I wrote about had the early rib pattern and the side holes.
