Rear sight question for an early springfield

I GOT THIS SIGHT THE OTHER DAY. IT LOOKS LIKE A SPRINGFIELD
WITH A KRAG LEAF.

ANY HELP OUT THERE?

Your rear sight assembly came from a Bannerman rifle. It was made by crimping and spot-welding a Krag rear sight assembly onto an M1903 rear sight fixed base. They are useful for making an ersatz rod bayonet rifle.

Hope this helps.

I had it close enough.

If it were to go onto a put together rod bayonet the leaf is ok but the sighting hub on the rear is wrong.

Like you said ersatz...

Thanks
