Well serious question this time...I know they don't really fake T3 rear sights. Would this be legit WWII. I have to replace mine but the font & numbers on the I.R.C.O. 7160060 kinda look different from my original one. Am I right to suspect, sight is real but roll marks are not? TIA from a guy who doesn't want to be born a sucker again...

i would say no issue with the rear sight, but the band seems a little fishy especially with only 1 weld mark
