M1 carbine maker stamps
I have a few parts for a M1
Carbine that I am trying to ID the makers. What I haven't ID'd yet are:
1. Safety, push type: "EW"
2. Safety, push type: E-S'G'
3. Recoil plate: unmarked with a casting line?
4. Recoil plate: PJ on side of tang.
5. Trigger housing: ST
6. Bolt: A.I. and then perpendicular to that is a larger I or a 1
7. Bolt: O.I. and then perpendicular to that is a 2
Thanks for the help.

PJ recoil plate is a war time replacement and the cast unmarked one is a post war replacement.

You have a few desirable parts.
1. "EW" safety made by Eaton Ponds Co. Springfield Mass for Winchester.

2. E-S'G' safety made by Eaton Ponds Co. Springfield, Mass. for Saginaw.

5. ST trigger housing made by Talon Inc. Meadville, Pa. for Standard Products.

6. A.I. & O.I. bolts made for Inland.

3. & 4. recoil plates. Replacement? Someone here will know who.

I have often seen these, but always wondered what the sideways numbers 1, 2, or 3 indicated on the left lug of Inland bolts. Anyone have ideas? I seem to recall that British
Enfield bolts had a separate threaded endpiece that was numbered to enable adjustment of headspace.

My IP bolts have numbers on the lugs too.

The numbers are supposedly heat lots. they get higher as the serial #s increase. The numbers on the enfield bolt heads are headspace indicators and are completely different in meaning.
When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!
