    agreed. a danish home guard front sight. some of these danish M1917s (M53/17), (from canadian lend/lease) may have been selected for accuracy and used in matches with the danish home guard. the front sight post arrangement made for more accurate sighting. you have a beautifull rifle there! it would appear that your rifle may have been sent to denmark directly from canada, unlike other M1917s which ended up in denmark via canada and norway (notched receivers). best, john
