So is there a way to tell if it is a RI vise? Are any of the numbers model numbers because that would give me something else to look up.

so I think this is a rock island vise that I have. Does anyone know what model? I'm hoping to get as much info as I can because I need to replace the spindle nut. I'd also like to figure out what the original color was for when everything is fixed.

I am pretty sure you are correct. Do you know which one is the model number? 122, 132, 71c

Thank you, that is huge
