A while back I saw a lower at a gun show that had what looked like some kind of octagon on it. the octagon was divided up and had every other section darkened. I can’t remember the name on it though, anyone have any ideas?
It looked similar to the NOVESKE logo, but was a complete octagon.
I have spent a good deal of time looking for this online but cannot find it.
Thank you.
This doesn’t exactly fit your description but I’ll give it a try. The only octagon or “stop sign” type marked lowers that I know of are SGW (Schuetzen Gun Works…the company that later set up Oly…the stop design on their lowers was dropped in '93 for the rampant lion logo you see on them today).
Octagon outline with SGW within a circle inside the stop sign. You might try a search for SGW or the complete name & see if you can find some pics to determine if this is what you remember it looking like.
Clearly a lower from the stock of the Umbrella Corporation.
Agree - early version of what became Olympic Arms.
BTW - such lowera are clearly “pre-ban” to guys trapped in bad states like New York - and they can often be sold for over $200 stripped (which will buy you 2 Essential Arms lowers).
Thanks for your help. If this is true then I’m glad I passed, and I hope it found its way to someone in a “BAN-State” who needs it.
It reminded me of Umbrella Corp. too, part of the reason I was interested. 
I know I’ve seen a few pictures of custom engraved “umbrella corp” lowers…is it possible that it actually was the umbrella logo?
could have been, but I seem to remember it being “slightly” different.
This was a few years back, I was just curious if this was a current manufacturer’s mark.
