    Square S flip sight with base marked Q?

    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?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    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
