Charlie, my two peep sights are just like the last one on the bottom of post #10
These sights are darn small - the leaf even smaller. A small difference in the camera angle can make a big difference when looking at a part that size. Here are (2) pics of a "believed real" sight - the short leaf is offset from the pin by more than I would have expected. :dunno: - Bob
Carbine parts value depends on the maker and when it was made. There are several "types" too. Gunparts wants $28.75 for a 1st issue, repro 'L' rear sight, $20 for a complete, 'late issue', stamped, rear sight. $45.75 for a "middle issue", milled repro, sight. $52 for a milled, Type II without an aperture and $36.50 for a repro Milled Type II without an aperture.
No apertures or 'flip' sights listed.
We weren't talking about repro stuff anyway...
I found this Rear Sight a long time ago and was always looking to see if I ever would come across another one with the L having the mark BR on it. Is this marking from Jasper Blackburn Co ?
Thanks to Bob for letting me know there was one posted. I have never tried to sell it because I never knew if it was fake or not.
Frank, your BR coded peep is just like mine, notice the larger outside diameter.
So, are they original ?

Robert, I have a couple Originals Flip Sights and I will look at the differences between them. I was told both that this one was Original and early iirc maybe later and a couple of people said it was fake but they still offered to buy it from me and say they could use it for Re-enactments. I have this Sight so I can take more picture and show it. I'm just a little busy at the moment. Let me know if you want to see all sides and the thickness compared to others.
Frank, no rush, maybe a photo of the side profile and bottom
Thannks, Robert
