    M1 Garand Mystery clip (help with Id)?

    While rummaging thru some enbloc M1icon clips I came across two with unusual markings that I am unable to identify. Appears to be a graphic of a rifle bore. Anyone know who manufactured these? Are they rare?

    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.

    I believe that is Korean.

    Edit:
    or maybe Taiwanese

    Is that not the same marking Taiwan use on their bayonets?

    Are they rare? I only found one pic online http://members.bellatlantic.net/~wol...ips/clips.html listed as unknown. CMPicon is torturing me by sending ammo & asessories before the rifle.
    Just cruel. So I am trying to distract myself with a bit of study here.
    I knew I would get an answer here.
    Thanks Guys.

    I don't think they are rare. Just not that common in my clip bag. I only have about 200 though.

    I HAVE checked too, I'm so sad not to have found any rare or early clips. But like I say, I only have about 200. You'd have to go through thousands these days to find rare ones I should think. Good luck finding those numbers in Canadaicon in one place...
