	I've seen reference to, and just recently was able to handle a large traditional eye cup with rotating apertures. Unfortunately not available. Is there a source for these that anyone can share or are they to be hunted in the wild?

	Well, They aren't German, and may not be what you're looking for, but Montana Vintage Arms sells Hadley eyeups with a rotating disc with varying sized apertures - (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) My apologies if I'm way off base with this.

	This is an add from 2014 but you might try here, Bill Loos. Kurt

	Absolute heresy, but you can drill & tap the German disc to take the MVA Hadley.

	And unnecessary. Place a paster on the eyepiece over the aperture. Make black with a sharpie. Use a sharp tapered pin to make a new aperture in the paster. Can make the aperture any size you want without wrecking an original sight. I have several old rifles with pasters on the eyepiece. Can hardly tell they're there. If your original aperture is to small, well, that's different. Get a new eyepiece. Joe.

	Most German schuetzen rear sights will accept a Gehmann eyepiece. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) I think the Anschutz eyepieces fit as well. While not much in the looks department, they're a significant improvement over the original.

	WOW, Those Gehman apertures are something else!
