Needed: An old folding buckhorn site for my 1885.

     Hi Gang:

     I need an old rear sight that would have a bit of patina to fit my 1885.  The person who sold me the rifle, had installed a new buckhorn sight that is in the way of the sight picture when using the tang sight.  The new on looks a bit out of place as it is very nicely blued.

     There is a chap in Ohio who sells old sights for our guns but I have no idea as to who he is.  Does anybody know him or where I may obtain an "aged" sight that will more closely match the patina on my rifle?

     Oh yes, I need the folding type.

                                                                    T.I.A

                                                                     Zeke
