Hi Charles
I havent seen that type of box before, what is it from?, but yes is a rifle clip that sits on the side of it I am looking for. The clip schould be the same as fitted to the other types of CMPs.

I have a half dozen NOS hiding in the shed, but they aren't going anywhere I'm afraid.
After that teaser, I will say that they could be fabricated and gum dipped with tool dip available at Cdn tire (and others). If you heat them to reddish colour and quench in oil, or else reddish in collour and cover them in dry sand so they slowly cool, you can likely get some spring tension out of them. However do that before you gum dip them. They can also be found with leather covering rather than the gum dip. Oooops, I just noticed the poster in in Copenhagen....no Canadian tire stores there I suppose.

event hough the cruel teaser
 Thank you very much for the tips, both are very usefull, making them in sheet metal just dont give the right effect so if I am able to get some spring tension in them I would be perfect, and the gum dip looks very usefull I must se if I can find it in Denmark. I would still very much like an original clip to make the copies from.

Hi Niels,
How are you going with your search for these? I have two originals that are sitting on my shelf and need to go to a good home. They would have had leather covers as they are not plastic dipped.

Hi Niels, I had a batch made afew years ago and have some left. I will check up the barn tomorrow for you. They are made of sprung steel like the originals but will need to have the leather fitted.
