	The confusion arises because the preview does not allow me to see the picture. Fred

	Fred, transfer the pictures on your computer to an online site like Photobucket. Then open the picture up there, click on IMG Code, it will say Copied > then Paste it in your post > click on Preview and the picture will appear Nice rifle - nice scope!

	I am not sure if this is the type of German sight, that you are discussing. This one sold on evilbay a couple of week ago. I have a similar sight. Kurt

	feuerbixler, my friend has a barrel sight on his Kessler that the notch in the sight is off to one side and non-adjustable, any idea how this sight could have been used. ledball

	Sorry not any clue! Because in Germany nobody used a barrel sight. They shot in the old days sometimes with a barrel sight for the 300 meter target. But normally they shot only with diopter and front sight. In the German shooting rules since ever it was defined, that only two sights were allowed: diopter and front-sight OR barrel-sight and front-sight. So everybody decided to shoot with diopter and not with barrel-sight. Biggi.

	Biggi and I have been going round and round about the use of two versus three sights on German rifles. It's really neck and neck at the moment. So close I wouldnt be willing to make any solid comments on the use of sights, way back in the very OLD days. Wes Turner.

	The picture on the Utah Schuetzen Society's home page clearly shows rifles with all three sights intact. Biggi counters with, this picture was not taken in Germany. About the time I think I have her she comes up with an excellent counter. She says these hombres are not dressed well enough to be German or Bavarian. I counter that there sure is a lot of German looking stuff in that picture! (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Joe.

	Westerner, take a close look at that Utah picture again, far right corner, 3rd man headed left, that is a Military man in his summer uniform, the hat is a dead give away. And I'm sure German, Austrian,Prussion or Swiss, and my guess is before WW1. Mike
