	I would like to get your take on this unmarked tang sight off of a Stevens 44-1/2. I looks like the New Mid Range Vernier sight in my reprint of a Stevens Arms catalog. Any guess as to its rarity and value? Thanks Jack

	American Rifle Sights book calls it a 102. Lists rarity as a 2-3 which means it's not that rare. In really nice condition I see them at around $200-$225. Yours is missing much finish and I'd expect it to be around $125. The mid-range vernier with lead screw get the better prices.

	Thanks Vall, The dings and dents and patina should add value . I guess I will see how eBay buyers value it Jack

	Concur with above, it is a Stevens Model 102 Vernier. Most common of the Stevens factory tang sights. I see them sell 125-150. Maybe a little more at auction but then you are paying %. Regards, Chris

	This model must use the invisible markings feature.

	I found this photo on Guns International and realized that my sight had the 2 lines (OK not a vernier scale) but they were on the other side of the slide. I turned it around to match. Jack
