Look at the knurling! The knurling is not rounded across the top like my real elevation knob is:confused:. This is the broad opened arrow one I need for my Winchester but I've some reservations about this. Anyone can make them look old and shot out.
M1 garand windage knob Winchester, WRA - eBay (item 110393334025 end time May-31-09 17:49:20 PDT)
The seller says it is an early windage knob and is supposed to be flat. Maybe it is not the one I need afterall. :confused: :surrender: :dunno:
These are from 1941 Winchesters
The windage knob in your pictures is very different from the one for sale on eBay. The one for sale has the same knurling as the others only flat.
It is legit. Look at the image where the knob shaft is pointed up. The metal cuts between the 4 stops are always slightly extended over the edge. Typical of a late Winchester.
Here are a couple of pics of a Winchester sight with the same type knob.

Its real.
No problem.
Thanks guys! Do you guys think it would be correct for my 2388849 Winchester?
No, it should be a knurled knob. Still a neat part though.
It is real and there was talk that this was a missed step for the checkering but there are way to many to be that. This were made this way as just before they rounded the edges a bit. A good example of time frame changes. Rick B
Checkered knobs have appeared on the very end of production Win-13's (as have sight seals - go figure). Though hardly considered 'correct' much after the mid to late 1.2 era, it is possible for any of these earlier parts to appear on later rifles (well, maybe not keystones and flat buttplates).
