1928 adjustable rear sight rivets/screws

[Mk1992]

Hello! I saw in a Italian shop this complete 1928 rear sight, maybe I'm interested to buy it.

I noticed the screws, some receivers and sights was made from the factory especially for screws assembling instead of rivets? Or it's a simple post war alteration etc?

I always saw rivets on the rear sights, adjustable or L type.

Thanks !!!

This is what you have, it has nothing to do with the original Lyman sight, it has a cast base with a grafted on old military sight with with only a height  adjustment.

That's from a 1927, in one of their several varieties, from West Hurley or Kahr. The Lyman sight used in WWII also has adjustment for windage.

Hello, thanks for your reply!

I hadn't this thing, it's a ww2 period era sight or post war?

I will check better tomorrow on the American Thunder books.

It's also expensive, price request around 300USD.

That sight is a current or recent production, poorly-designed, low-quality copy of the WWII era Lyman sight.  Not worth anything like 300 USD  List price from Kahr for one is $103.10 USD (about 95 EUR)
