The "5D" is a Williams designation for their economized "FoolProof" receiver sight (basically the FoolProof sans micrometer adjustments). 5D implied it sold for five bucks when it was first introduced (five dollars will hardly pay the tax today

) but I'm old enough to have paid five dollars for a new one when that's what they cost "back in the day".
