My, those are tiny little pictures.
The sight MIGHT be off an early Winchester Model 52 which had a huge dovetail on the reciever bridge. |

Pictures are simply too small. He needs to retake them in a larger format.
When I try blowing them up they pixelate all to hell.

The OP sent me the pictures. They're larger and somewhat easier to see, but still pretty blurry.
Jim says the early 52 had a large dovetail on the receiver bridge for the sight. It doesn't like like any 52 sight I've ever seen, but I found a very early catalog drawing of a 52, and it does appear to sit in a dovetail. But... Even at that early stage the 52 sight appears to have had windage adjustment knobs on the rear base, which this sight doesn't have.

I know.
Finger's Fuzzy Fotos show an adjustment knob on the elevation slide whereas all the early 52 sights I can find have them at the base... or not at all. Either this is an aftermarket sight or it is off of Something Else. |
