sight prices Win 1885

Been offered a set of sights for an 1885. Original. From photo looks like mid range vernier and hooded windage adjustable front sight. 

Just need a rough price for the pair. I know there are a  bunch of variables. 

Thanks

I've seen the verniers sell in the 400-500 range.

Condition is everything, but I would say $650-800 for the set ... assuming no issues (e.g. rust, pitting, mechanics) and moderate original finish

You'd also want to ensure that the front sight came with some inserts.  Thickness of the old inserts seems all over the map from what I can see.  I have three original rifles with windgage front sites and none of the inserts interchange.
