I have several and I read some where that some were actually worth a LOT of money to some collectors. Below is a list of markings on my clips. Some I know where they were made others I don't.

SA--------Srpingfield Armory
BRW------????

If anyone knows where these were made please post the answer in a reply.

BRW is the Borg Warner Spring Company. There's a website out there that I found a while back with all the mfg names. I'll see if I can find it again.

AEC is Aggressive Engineering Corp
