Question on push type safety

**RCS** · 01-07-2020 06:12 PM

I have had these push safeties for a very long time, is it possible from my photos to determine if these are original or not ?

Thanks RobertAttachment 104784 Attachment 104785 Attachment 104786

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

To me the finish on them does not appears to be original USGI. Plus little to no wear on them makes then appear to be reproductions.

I was thinking the same thing. And the stamping EP-B doesn't look quite right either. Font looks a little off.

Interesting that Winchester only used "E" W instead of "EP" Same company Eaton Ponds.

Yes it is indeed. Perhaps to distinguish it was not BE, as in IBM Endicott? IBM trigger housings manufactured by the Endicott plant were marked in a few different ways. Like BE-B or B-EB.
So removing the 'P' on Eaton Pond safeties manufactured for IBM; EB. Total speculation of course.
