Need Publishable Photo of C96 500 and 1000 Meter Sights

[dalbert]

I'm hoping someone here can help me out.  I would like to publish photos of 2 different styles of C96 Mauser Broomhandle pistol sights in a chapter I am doing for a book, and it will possibly be published in a journal, also.  If you have a Broomhandle with either a 500-meter or 1000-meter sight, I would appreciate if you could reach out to me.  I would credit your name for any photo used.

Thanks In Advance!

Click on sights in the menu at the top.  There are a lot of variations

Thanks for the link.  I have photos of both sights, but they are copyrighted, like the content at the link.

I am looking for someone to take a pic of their own example sights so that I can publish the photo without worrying about a copyright.

Hi David,

I have a “Red 9” C96 with the 500-meter  rear sight and would be happy to provide photos if they might be of use/interest.

Best,

Skip

Hi Skip,

Yes, please send me a photo of the top of the sight showing the meter markings, if you would please to my email listed below.  I greatly appreciate it.  Another member sent me a pic of a 1000 yard example.

Thank you very much!
