    I would have to say Winchester just because of the punch mark. But I'm usually wrong.

    Wish it were that easy, SA parts can also have punch marks

    Billy Pyle's "The Garandicon Stand Report" Spring 2004 No 54 has line drawings of Winchester, Springfield and reproduction round firing pins done by Charles Redfield with acknowledgements to Bill Ricca.

    The top angle on the Winchester firing pins is 55 to 61 degrees while Springfield is 26 degrees. Your firing pins appear to me to be Springfield. Reproduction round firing pins have a difference in the shank slot
