Now finding one and being able to afford it is another matter altogether !
Were these PH sights rather the exception or the rule at the time when No. 8 trainers were in service? They must have added considerably to the cost of the rifle, so I suppose they must have been used for small-bore competition rather than the basic training of cadets. As regards small-bore competition, I would be interested to know which of these sights were officially acknowledged for participation.
