    Rifle Rear Sight Identification

    I apologize if I'm in the wrong forum. I've been trying to identify these three sights and cannot nail them down. Does anyone recognize them? I would appreciate the help. Thank you.

    Sorry if this is not a precise answer - I am going by my feeling for style - but it might help you to look in the right area.
    One at left is of a Frenchicon/Germanicon smallbore trainer or plinker
    One in centre is Germanic
    One at right is also from a smallbore trainer or plinker, maybe French. reminds me of the MAS36 sight.

    OK maybe just guesses, but it gives you a direction.

    Yes, one at right is the MAS45 (smallbore-trainer version of the MAS36, made post-WWII)

    The one at centre, scaled 100 to 1000, looks like something from a carbine or the Mauser C96 pistol (my tip).

    Yes, the left hand sight is from a .22. I removed one from a scrapper once, but do not recall the make.

    the centre sight marked to 1000m is Czechicon manufactured for the Germanicon contract G.33/40.

    Too bad the sight base ring has been hacked off.
