I used search and looked in other areas but can't locate a forge code data base.  Who makes detachable A4 carry handles with a raised square for a forge code?

Offset Square is: Brass Aluminum Forging

+1 Square = Brass Aluminum Forging

The forging codes on detachable carry handles does not indicate who did the final machining and assembly of it, the forging code just means the raw forging block of metal was made by in this case Brass Aluminum Forging.

I have three Colt detachable carry handles that I bought from 2010 up to now and they all have the square forge marks.

Thanks.  I was hoping it was not NC Star etc.  It looks like a quality piece.  I should have asked which manufacturers used that forging.

Brass Aluminum Forging Enterprises in Ferndale, MI, uses the simple square forge mark.  They make the forgings.  There is NO way to tell, just from the forge mark, who made the finished product.
