OEM Stevens 414 Receiver Sight

Online seller claims the 414 receiver sight was made by Lyman.   

Can anybody confirm?  I'm skeptical.

I’ll look at mine later today to see if it was stamped Lyman, but I think they were made by Stevens.

I took a look at my receiver sight on my 414. It is only stamped with a number 94 on the inside of the sight. If Lyman made the receiver sight, I think the Stevens catalogs would say so and they do not. Who made them? I still think Stevens did but I am not sure.

I just pulled my original Stevens Walnut Hill brochure. It refers to it as a  Lyman 144 tang sight.

In a careful reading of Phil Sharpe's book he refers to it as a "custom Lyman sight".

The OP's reference is to a receiver sight, not a tang sight.

Right.  

The Sharpe reference was in re the receiver sight on the 414, not the 417, though.
