help identifying rod guides

I have acquired an assortment of rod guides, some in sets and some in bulk, many in unopened packages. They seem to closely resemble, and may be, Fuji LVSG and NSG silicon carbide guides. They are in a range of sizes, mostly in a gunsmoke finish, with some in bright chrome/stainless.
Marking labels show ie: NSG guide bulk SZ10, BNLG10, BNL12,etc.
Can anyone verify what they might be?
I am only interested in building fly rods, so, If feasible, would consider listing what I have, with the idea of selling them to someone who can use them.
Any help would be appreciated.

Rick,
Best bet would be to fashion a picture. The Gun smoke frames will be Fuji Silicon Carbide rings, the NSG is a standard casting frame which is now discontinued but was used commonly as a stripper guide for fly rods. The BNLG should be a Hardloy ring size 10 with a black frame and should be the same frame style as the NSG, the same applies for the BNL12 assuming it is a BNLG12. Hope this helps identifying them at least.

Kind Regards,

I would say keep them if you are just starting out one day you may just want them

Thanks for your help, Brook.

I have pics, but not sure how to post them here.
If any interest, I can email pics with list of what I have.

E-mail me at rjruwe2@comcast.net, and I would like to see what all you have. I have used many of these guides and like them a lot better than some of the new ones. Randy
