Anyone ever seen this marking on late A1 triangle HGs? I don't recall seeing this, wondering if there's any info on these. Looks like a curvy N. Std R marked right sides, not sure if there are lefts marked this way as well, I only have these two rights. Thanks!

I'll venture to say that that's a mold mark, as in a flaw in the mold.

I agree, they are nearly identical, just wondering if there's any significance or if it's just a random mark.

Adding a number or any other ID mark by hand (ie scratching the mould) is a cammon practice..
Used to work in The injection moulding industry for a while.. Helps ID parts Made one particular mould among many identical ones Or maybe The mould has been dropped on the ground  shit happens douring maintenance

Yes I have seen that mold mark a few times. I have no idea the significance of it, but have seen it.

Yup, just a mold mark, really has no importance other than to the maker of the molded product.

From what I understand, often a manufacturer that sees a mold declining will mark that mold so that when reject parts start showing up, they will know which ACTUAL mold was the culprit. Your hanguards could have been from a mold that was nearing the end of its life and were thus marked.

The molds are made with cavity identification numbers so the parts can be rejected/quarantined by cavity if needed. Mold can also be scribe mark identified when necessary. |
