I would love to see a picture of that. I did a front sight like that and had to grind down a engraving tool to make the slot, but it came out ok. You definitely have a keeper there.

I’ll bet that if you take the lock out and look at the inside plate you will see ROLLER. I have a lock that is identical to that one and it’s a Roller.
Molly:
I recall that I did that when we got it and I think that is correct. I just did not want to remove it right now. It's really a snug fit and demands a little care in taking it out. One of the things I really like is the variety of finished to the metal. Barrel and lock, brown. Jaw screw and other screw heads, blued. Guard, toe plate, butt plate, nose cap, box and tang...not blue, not brown but not "white" either. And the muzzle. It's almost "white".
Molly:
Sorry for the poor photos. Will try to get better ones soon..
flinchrocket:
Thanks Molly, actually I’m looking for a solder line as I think more of these end up being soldered to take the wiggle out. This type of sight is a one shot deal and the slot has to be perfect for everything to work the way it should. That’s one reason you won’t see very many.
