RS Stamp
FWIW, the WWII subcontractor list I have shows 'RS' as Rome Specialty Company in Rome, New York.

If the swivels in your package are not mounted on bands they are replacements for the M1903A1 (the standard name for Springfield type rifles in WWII). Replacement swivels for M1903A3s are permanently assembled to a band by an upset screw. Swivel, A130038, is a spare only for M1903 and M1903A1 rifles per ORD 7 SNL B-3. You can always use them but the staked screw is not meant to be removed and re-installed on M1903A3 and A4 rifles.
