The AR and LR traps were likely all made in Canada and are associated with the Rousseau family. The LR initials may have been those of Louis-Leandre Rousseau. Page 108 of the Second Edition of Andrewski and Parr has more information.

I meant different than most swivels I had seen on any trap. Different design.

It's hand made, like most but not all the trap.

Two really good traps to have Mont.. I am jealous.
I like that 4 1/2 chain set up. No skimping on the links and a different way of attaching the split, together with that snap, it just screams "CANADA"

You gonna give us a pic the spring stamps?

the picture of spring stamps was too close and is blurry...will try to get wife to get picture on her camera.
i'm tempted to clean it up more to see the stampings better but don't wanta take of that nice brown patina
