Anybody got a picture of the correct 1941 waisted front sight protector and base. Is it the same as the Brit one?

Aside from the markings, it's the same deal. Haven't found any in my stash of photos, but there should be photos in an older thread. Spinecracker might have something.
Singer, at any rate for comparison:

Sorry, nothing Long Branch! Don't own one, so the photos would have been somebody else's anyway.
Found 'em! Go to this thread:
1941 Long Branch
See Post #59. Thanks, AX201201!
And a slap upside Spinecracker's head for not keeping or uploading his photos to his thread!
Hey, no slapping! I do not have a waisted Long Branch foresight protector, so how the heck could I upload pics?Quote:

There's lots of pics of them there, including showing various fakes and how to spot them ... ;)

Checked some of mine and the only difference is in the markings and also a VERY slight variance in the knurling on the top edge.

Anyone equipped with CNC if the print was available ???
Perhaps. I'll make some inquiries. TIA, Warren!
