I believe that I have verified that the shear pins available from a surplus vendor in
Germany are the genuine article. He sent me a bunch before he took payment,
and they seem to match the specification in terms of measurements. They are
well made with no flaws at all. He has sent me a picture of the label on the box
that they came in with the NSN etc, which matches up on line.

He doesn't want much for these and he still has a couple hundred left. I don't want
to be a middle man in this, I just want to help out fellow ss members, so contact him direct
and make your own deals. He seems a very nice guy.

This was his original statement, and I believe him. I will attach the photo of the tag
below. Note he mentions helicopter parts so maybe some of the folks on here
may get a good deal.

"I guarantee that these pins are original US military surplus.3 weeks ago i bought 1,5 tons of screws,bolts,nuts,pins,rivets,studs,and other metal hardware from the army in Kaiserslautern.It is hard to select,because about one third of the NSN# cannot be found and many parts are from military helicopters and there is no market"

Hopefully some one will be able to take advantage of this.
