Another forged Newhouse spring with as nice of stamping as you hav eon the other spring and you will have a nice trap. "PURVEYOR OF FINE ANTIQUTIES and RARE TRAPS". Member...

The spring is a little longer than any forged #3 that I ever saw but there is enough stamp to know its a Newhouse. I think the pan post is handmade too.
