Looking at it I would say it's had a fair amount of repair work and it looks too short in the staff the  wind gauge adjustment knob doesn't look right and the knurling  on the center adjustment knob does not look right. ken    (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

I don't think there's much left of an original Stevens sight there, except the aperture and the windage base it screws into. The staff appears to be from another sight, and the base looks like it's off one of the modern Jeff's Outfitters sights made in Hungary. 
Looks like somebody will be buying it, but I'd surely never want it for a collector's sight, or to shoot with. Not worth the price for the parts either.

Guy got pretty salty, didn't he?  Is he truly ignorant, or P.O.'d at being found out?

I'm in agreement that it's at best a "bitza" sight, with the wrong staff at least.  He doesn't know that Favorites and Model 44s need a different staff angle, either.  It'll work for one or the other but not both.  I already learned that the hard way.

Tried to express my own assessment to him, but can't get evilBay to let me send him a message.  Can a seller block emails?  Oh, well.   Sad thing is that somebody's going to buy it and be disappointed.  m

The comments so far have suggested that at least one other ASSRA member has tried to contact the sight's seller.  And while Mr. Stamm has apparently stopped responding to all comments or inquiries directly, he has posted the following on his sight's auction:

Note: If you'll check our feedback, you'll see we try our best to make our buyers happy. Regarding this sight, we did as much research as possible on it before listing. Took as many pics as possible too, to show there's nothing to hide. Apparently a member of an ASSRA  Org. who said, "While theoretically possible...", that it's a Stevens sight, started tearing it apart. I asked him questions he either couldn't or wouldn't answer. And that wasn't enough for him so he emails me with more members condemning us too. What the heck kind of club is this? Nothing better to do than harass Ebay sellers? To the best of my knowledge, this truly IS a Stevens No.108 Tang Sight in very good condition.

Now, Mr. Stamm is truthful about one thing, that I did not answer his two questions. But since he makes a point of it, please reread his response in my first posting and ask yourself if his questions were worth even trying to answer.

In any case, I thank all those who have provided their expertise.  And I also apologize to you all for my actions having caused our organization to be defamed in public.

But then, to coin a variation of an old saw, perhaps it's simply true that not even attempted good deeds go unpunished.

The basic truth is people hide behind ebay's advantages of being an online "store" and letting you be anonymous, and the nature of humans to believe what they read.  There are many sellers in the hobbies I like that on the surface appear "experts" and very knowledgeable.  But it's a shtick, their purpose is to sell as high and as often as possible, regardless of partial frauds.

There was a seller in my other hobby (antique cameras) that started selling on ebay before he learned anything about the subject.  He wrote vivid, imaginative ads.  He sold to many of us things that we found were misrepresented.  When we complained, he'd ask for your phone number to discuss, then try every trick in the book to keep you from writing a bad feedback.  He would curse you, ignore you, cajole you.  We all learned....and avoided him.  The last I looked, he has sold hundreds of thousands of dollars of cameras and exotic lenses.  Every major city has Craigslist ads from him asking to buy "your old, moldy cameras..."  A magazine article interviewed him as being one of Ebay's top sellers, I think making him a millionaire the past 10 years.  

These types of people could care less about a few true experts trying to contact them and advise of a problem.  They are cocky and confident their sales will continue.  Lot of them on Gunbroker too.  Some selling fake Colt boxes and grips, for example, with nobody stopping them.

It's the eBay buyer who is is safe from negative feedback. But you do have to be careful about the wording of any negative comment on a seller, lest you be the one who suffers eBay's retribution.

For those who like to cry silently, that travesty of a sight sold for $402.74 (including shipping).  Sigh!
