"L" Marked WRA Front Sight

[trapperjohn17404]

I have a "L" marked front sight and the Riesch book lists it as rare. Just how rare is this sight? Also what books are the best for detailed parts identification?

I seen a "L" marked frt sell on Ebay once for $187.50 !
I knew that N64atlas was sitting on one at the same time and passed that info to him. I'd bet he put it under lock and key.

Still have it, may have to sell it as times are getting lean here in Ohio. May also sell the WB flip sight as well. Seems like there are more L marked sights than previously thought as few had seen them a little over a year ago and now everybody and his brother seem to have one

I'm in NE Ohio. What part of the state are you in? I might be interested in those sights.

Jim,
Howard always say's that. I doubt if he's ever sold anything in his life ;-)
