new member needing advise about model 1913 warner and swasey sight

[ecottrell]

I am a new member looking for advice. I recently acquired through an estate a telescopic musket sight. It is stamped Model of 1913 No. 2798 The Warner and Swasey Co. Cleveland Ohio USA Pat. Feb 3-06, May 22-06, Dec 5-08 (I think this is accurate, but the print is pretty small for these old eyes!) I find no number stamped in the dovetail. It comes with a leather case. The leather case is in fair condition at best. The sight has lost the rubber sight piece, but the rest of it appears to be in decent condition. All parts seem to work and the sight appears to be fairly clear. It does have two small specks in the field of vision, so I assume it needs to be cleaned. Now here is the deal, I am a hunter and gun guy, but I have no interest military weapons. That being said, I would like to sell this sight for a fair price. What do you guys suggest? Not sure what it is worth, so establishing a price is difficult at this point. Classifieds here? Auction? What site? I can/will post some pictures when I get a little time. Thanks for your help. Ernie
