This i sentimental to a dear friend of mine . I`ve had it for a while trying to find a backspring/parts for it but cant find a parts knife quite like it ? this has more "rounded bolsters" than most that are marked the same , also it has 4 pins not 3 . it was his Grandpas and i want to fix it up for him . any help woul be nice . its hard to read the stamp but looks like R4593 umc ? Thanks guys !

R4593 is right on the stamp, some of the round bolster knives also had 3 pins.
I think it is a early round bolster knife.
