Measurement of Hepburn Front Blade Sight.

Is there someone out there that has a Hepburn with the common front blade sight ? I need the measurement ( width & length ) of this blade. The one on my rifle, I don't think is orginial plus it's not in the best of shape. I want to replace it with a shiloh blade sight but they want the measurements to get it to match as close as they can. Sure would appreciate it. Also, do Hepburn tang sight holes have the same screw threads as the High Wall or other Single Shots ? Dale.

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

The blade height varies depending on barrel contour, and caliber. Length is always the same.
I measured three and found them all just barely under 1" long, and the bases were all just under .75" wide. Heights varied from .20", .25", .27" Thickness of the blade is .10" on all.
