Stoning fixture of some sort. The pins are randomly placed. An A marked on this side and a B on the other. The holes go all the way through.

    Here is a photo, of a sear/hammer engagement fixture for a 1911. Got it off the net. This type of fixture, specially if the are homemade. Could have been made for many different pistols.

    If you have a hammer & sear for a 1911. Might see if they fit on the pins?

    The pins are accurately placed for specific firearm(s).

    No, they were not in the fixture they can be removed and placed in different spots. I just put them in for reference. Looks to nice to be home made. I thought maybe they were commercially available at some time and someone might remember it.

    Commercially made fixture, would be marked. With manufacturers name.

    Back when I was in school, we made stuff like this. Range rods, fixtures, tools etc. It was up to you, if you wanted to mark them.

    Most full service gunsmiths, have at least one lathe, and one end mill. With the end mill, and a good pair of dial calipers, and micrometers, they could spot the hole spacing, easily, for many different guns, and make their own fixtures, as professionally, and accurately as a manufactured one. Not only could they make one that worked, but they could also design it to their liking, adding features that manufactured ones left out.

    I have done this, and many old school gunsmiths have done this, as compared to the newer generation's thinking of I will go buy it, it has to be more accurate, and if they can't find one to buy, they just don't do the job.

    It's a fixture for working on sear engagement and/or trigger pull on various firearms.
    The 1911 obviously is one of them.
