Tang sight ID
« on: October 29, 2012, 02:27:21 AM »
I took these sights as partial payment for an English LR rifle I just finished and may fit them to another which is in the works.  I don't recognize the maker of either and haven't found any internet matches......Any help?  Positive ID only....anyone can speculate.




Above pic is part number on tang sight.  Front sight has no markings.

Certainly well and professionally made. At a guess,I'd say they were unique to a one off rifle.
The slight curve in the base indicates a custom job for who knows what maker of the gun they came
from and the ability of the disc to go low on the staff indicating a muzzle loader.

It looks a lot like a Creedmore type sight.
I have used similar sights here in Canada at Connaught range for thousand yard black powder cartridge.
Although the front sight had an aperture, better suited for long distance.
I must say that your sight is  impressive.
I would gladly trade two Dixie sights for it  ::)
All the best
