    I see the background of your picture matches listings by the seller tagmil in Wyoming.
    The Same seller of the N sight Example I posted above.
    BTW, R marked front sights Are Not Rock Ola, I'm betting the seller already knows this

    Here is the same background in his listing for a EU Type II front sight:

    JW,
    The 2nd picture in your gallery (below) shows the number 7 on the left outer leaf. Meaning blade height when made.
    Numbered blade height front sights were used by IP.
    The numbers 0 to 8 came in at least 2 heights (tall), maybe 3... heights ??
    I don't remember if the number Font style was the same.
    I believe these 'Leftovers' were also used by S'G' after the take over.

    *Anyone out there with a N marked sight with a number?

    @ USGIBOB, Doesn't your S'G' 1,8 have a N marked sight with number like this ??
    And if IIRC isn't it a small 7 ??

    Nope. Mine has the "Big" 7 - slightly larger than the sight pin hole. - Bob
