Mk2 stamped rear sight No5 MKI Enfield

[Enfield trader]

Just picked up this stamped rear sight for the No5 MKI - it is stamped Mk2 first one I have seen marked like this -I have another one not marked except for a broad arrow on the back

Does anyone have information on these stamped rear sights, ie: what markings were on them, when were these used in the No5s ?

Thanks

First I think I've ever seen.

1944 No5 Parts List Manual showing Mk1 (and components) and MkII (and components) rear sight parts.

Yep, quite common in service.

As a matter of interest, the illiustration is a good example of a parts list. It is a list of PARTS and not a list of AVAILABLE parts. For example the catch mechanism and slide stop etc were identified but never available as spares through Ordnance.
