If it was real it would have been on an IBM carbine but it's not real.

Notice there is no claim by the seller that it's original IBM, it's just marketed as a sight with FOB stamped on it.

Same seller is trying to get rid of a Type I band.
Look at the 2nd picture....
Does it looked cracked/split above the R stamp, near the top?
I believe it is.

It looks cracked to me. Good eye.

Maybe he hit his "R" stamp too hard.

I asked about the FO B sight. His response:

"I don't know how to tell.If you're a collector you might know more than me,I know nothing about these gun parts.Thank you kindly, Larry

For somebody who doesn't know anything about gun parts he sure seems to have a lot of fakes.

He also knows how much to ask for them also. And only has the rare stuff.
