It could have/might easily have had one fitted. Either at the factory - incoming suppliers stocks permitting. Or in service. A defective Mk2 backsight could easily be replaced with a Mk1 type if one were on the shelf.

Wasn't he the chap who came up with the aperture sight mounting bridge / charger guide for the Ross MkII or so they say? I believe he was a Cowichan; best known for their sweaters!
I used to have one of his sights, photos attached.
I see Muffet.2008 has one as well. They seem to have traveled widely, surprisingly enough, as they're no silk purse.
The Parker Hale 8/53, plate 55, those ever show up here in the US?
I like the looks of it but when folded down is the point blank aperture blocked by the threaded PH aperture?

I see you've got an early Humphreys sight there, left drawer back center: https://www.milsurps.com/attachment....0&d=1400495572
I found the arm of a better and later version recently. There are no patent records in Canada I could find though, despite the patent claim on the sight.
If anyone has a base I would appreciate seeing a few photos. I think Lyman may have inspired the toothed arm. (Sorry about the bad photos)
I picked this up at a garage sale today cause I thought it was cool. Was pretty hard to find out what it was but noticed a picture of it in the slide show.
I can't find any info on them so anything you guys would be willing to share would be much appreciated.

It's a sight cramp...for adjusting sights. You know that now right? It's for the #1 Mk3 and variants I think. We have it in the knowledge library too... Milsurps Knowledge Library - Fore Sight Adjusting Cramps (by Graeme Barber))
