Front sight band marked "A"

[WW1 Fan]

Question for JB, I notice the "legs" of the 7s on the sight leaf are curved, like Springfields, not straight as most RIA sight leaf numbers were..........

Is this the original sight leaf, or a Springfield replacement?

Your rifle's rear sight leaf is a replacement. That's not unusual for a rifle which has seen a lot of service.

Hope this helps. Thanks for the picture!
