Tailwheel Recce

Can anyone ID this tailwheel assembly? It doesn’t quite look like the Bell tailwheel to me. Looking to get a manufacturer so I can replace the locking pin and spring at annual.

I believe Skylor is correct.

I have an Aviation Products tailwheel fork on my RV-8. It?s pretty stout. It originally had a larger diameter (six inch?) wheel. I replaced the large wheel with a smaller diameter wheel from Flyboy accessories. It required spacers, reducers and a smaller diameter through bolt. Flyboys also supplied other parts need to rebuild the inners IIRC.
