Hy guys

I have a guy that gave me a heavy rod to make a spiral out of
he gave me a set of Fuji heavy duty guides I am looking for a match for to replace several
They look to be Fuji HN guides
But The frame is a Gray in color and the Ring is black or dark and highly polished
Don't think it's SIN or SIC rings look thicker maybe Aluminum Oxide ?? They all read Black stainless

Any ideas
Thanks

Bill,
If they are Fuji guides, they should have the work FUJI stamped in the guide.
Is that the case?

If the ring is black and highly polished, that sounds like an SIC ring.

Are you sure that they aren't pac bay or American Tackle guides?

Roger
There is an F on the single foot with the size And they look like the HN boat guides in frame design
But the frame color is a gray or dark gray Not black Does not look like a Ti Coating The ring seems to be a bit thick so that is why i was thinking Aluminum oxide I would guess the frame color may be Gunsmoke ??
The guy I guess got them off an older casting rod I could probable make them work but would rather do it right so if his friends see it and try it maybe some sales
SIN rings seem to be a lighter color and Hardloy is that weird gray color And they all read Black stainless
