    Help Identifying these old sights

    I've been searching for some time now trying to identify these sights. I haven't had any luck finding any reference to them. Does anyone have an idea? There are no markings that I can find. I appreciate any help. Thank you.

    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.

    The one on the right looks huge for a shoulder arm.

    I quite like the design of the other two. The middle one gives me a shopmade vibe.

    Sorry I can’t be of more help. Neat pieces though! I love old accessories like this.

    old sights

    I think the sights are homemade and very interesting too. Most all of the manufacturers put some type of number or letter code or even the name (Marble of Lyman) on their sights.

    I made a large tang rear sight for a Remington rolling block in 45-70 caliber, I only fired black powder loads with a 500 gr lead bullet or paper patch lead bullet. There were three inch steel round plates at 100 yards and when I could constantly hit these plates, I then scribed a line on the tang, the 200 yard plates were more work.

    Also made a nice rear sight for a 22 rim fire rifle that I built too

    Left hand one might be part of a stamp or embossing machine, right hand one might be for alignment of instruments or machines.
