It's an early Type 1 or 2 trigger housing (per Riesch) made by National Lock Company for Quality Hardware (per Ruth).

Agree it is a type II made by National Lock for QHMC. Is that just a scratch at the rear mag wall or has it been modified to a M2 housing?

Good eye Wayne. I notice with the additional picture Dan added that it has seen both dogleg and straight hammers.

it is a typical modification for use in an M2. 9 spring cut is unremarkable.
Will try to take some pics soon

Looks to have extra 'Depth' cut milled on the flat/forward of the trigger cut out.

@ painter, that extra depth is typical of modified THs to give the sear clearance.
1st M1 88, interesting observation on the trigger guard as I had not noticed it. Checking other housings I think it is a machining error or allowance as I have seen it on a few different make THs and is not specific to a particular manufacturer that I have noticed, but will be looking for now on.

I see the Long 'Typical Depth' cut as found on modified THs.
This one has a Extra Short Depth cut from the opening about 1/2"-3/4" forward. Maybe the start of another pass, That ended up not being needed?
