Double D, this appears to be a Sight for a European (Read Kraut) Schuetzen Rifle. many of these were built by individual Gun makers of the time. Followed a standard pattern but were all just a little different. The Square mounting base gives it away. On close examination though it occurs to me that the style on this one is just a little more modern and I wonder if this is in fact a modern replacement built here in this country by or for someone that had a Rifle without a rear sight. The knurled knobs look just a little krisp to me. Read cleaner and better than normally seen on a close to 100 year old sight. Not a fault in any way, it looks to be in really fine condition. HTH, Regards, FITZ

P.S. On another look at the pictures the whole thing looks so good and crisp it makes me suspect it is a recently made in this country sight. Not a drawback by any means. A good test would be to inspect the threads and see if they are Metric or Decimal threads. FITZ.

Thanks gents.  Kinda what I figured.

I don't think this is local made.  Well I guess it could be.  Applied numbers are more like the numbers you see on German/European marked items.

Is it standard to not put index marks adjacent to the scale on these things?

Anybody here need one?
