Trigger marking

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I believe my trigger is a type III and is marked "WA".  I know that "W" can stand for Winchester or White Sewing Machine Co depending on the size of the stamping.  Could "WA" stand for Walt Arsenal?

	I possibly found the answer to my question. The "WA" stamping appears to be a WW II replacement hammer manufactured by Walt Manufacturing - location of facility not known as of now.

	Paul, so you are talking about a Hammer and not a Trigger correct?
