Hey Briton,

We're looking into it. That is a weird one. I haven't seen a mag with that brand on its face plate. Also two point cover retainers is unusual. Is it a single or multi cylinder mag? What bike did it come off of?

Found this doing a little digging.

briton,

When you have time would you please take some more pictures of that magneto. We need a shot of the bottom, and all four sides. If it has a tag on it, please send that too. We're very interested in this one!

Thanks
