That is funny unless you are the buyer. Good detective work!!
Good catch!
Look real close, you can see the rear sight is for a rifle.

Tell me what I'm missing here Chuck. I was going to troll bid this but didn't. So it goes.

Hi Joe
From the quality and darkness of the pictures I can't tell much about the piece. Front sight looks like it may be aftermarket (Marbles?)
Someone may have gott'en a very good deal.
FWIW
