    Some things to remember-
    "EW" was made by Eaton Pond for Winchester.
    SW was made by Sargent Co. for Winchester.
    Operator.
    New tooling Vs tooling that has been is use for a while.
    These parts were taken from a Rebuilt carbine most likely, if you bought a Inland and it has a "EW" safety are you going to keep it on your Inland or put it on your Winchester?
    As Charlie pointed out about finishes-
    Original
    light grey repark.
    Medium grey repark
    Dark repark
    CMPicon Italianicon carbines, dark black finish.
    CMP Bavarian/Austrian reblued parts.
    And the others that I missed.
    All the marked faked safeties I have seen are pretty crude and easy to spot.
