What does the 31 on the underside of the spring mean? It is on both springs.

I am not positive. but I believe that the numbers under the springs are a batch # from when the springs were tempered. I have found no documentation to explain what they are. I have not yet seen a numbered spring on a #0 Newhouse but have seen them on #1 thru #4 1/2.

What a coincidence.... A fellow collector needs a #4 spring with a certain stamp. Told him I could send a pic thru trapperman PM, and the spring I grabbed just happens to have the batch number stamp underneath too. I'll just post the pics here. I have seen those numbers before but they are not real common...

I have found them on a few OC 3’s and 4’s. Always figured they were some sort of lot number.
