Square S flip sight with base marked Q?

[painter777]

Just noticed this Flip sight on Epay with the left base marked with a square/block "S" and the right base marked with a large "Q".
Anyone seen anything like this before?

Never saw a Q that thin. The humpper must belong to weight watcher's

IIRC, the squared S indicates a WRA sight. Why would a humper put a Q on it?

The square S sight was not only used by Winchester but several others too.
It was also used by Underwood,Saginaw Steering Gear and Standard Products too. hth
