	Once again eBay has delivered me some mystery items. I bought a lot of firing pins which had 2 high wall ones and these three. The seller thought the top one was for a Remington and that one might be for a LC Smith. Any thoughts? Thanks Jack

	The bottom one looks like a Worn striker Ballard

	Unfortunately it looks more like this. Not sure if the Sterling one is hollow though. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Jack

	Aww , I think you’re correct, but it sure has similarities. It is much smaller I noticed in diameter than the Worn.

	It would be worth more I assume if it were for a Ballard. I will probably put them back on eBay and see what happens. The lot I won had 2 high wall pins One standard one that looks new and the other a large tip pin that was machined to work for both versions of the breech block, the one with the pin retaining screw and the earlier one with a horizontal cross pin. I will put these 2 on here for sale first just in case but the larger eBay exposure is more likely to find a buyer. Thanks Rodney Jack

	I will keep you in mind buy I bought it for someone else. I am pretty sure his new auction find has the cross pin large tip firing pin. He hasn't had a change to take it apart yet as he is out of town. Are you looking for a fat tip one or a cross pin one?
