Needing Help Identifying a Front Sight

[imntxs554]

I found this Front Sight with a Number 3 on one side. The only place I can find anything about is on Part markings. (check here first) : Parts Markings / Stocks . How much of this Website is True ? It shows 2 M1 Carbine Manufacturers of using it, but I'm skeptical about this Sight being Correct even though there are several correct markings on this Website. TIA

This is the Sight

Jim, I posted what he wanted on the Forum where he asked me. Remember I told you through a pm or email you sent me about the sight and I agreed cause I didn't remember when and where I got it. I got it before ALL the medical testing the doctors had me go through, but Thank You for showing it.

Frank,

Not trying to step on your thread, just showing bigger pictures to invoke comments.

Then that explains why that website said they both used them...Thanks Again Brian

On this Front Sight there is No marking on top and I assume there should be none. The only picture I did find just showed the side. I think if there was something that goes on the top of this sight the book would of showed it. Anyone knows if there should be a marking on top ? TIA.

Frank,

Are there any letters on the front of the sight?
