I had never heard of this but I ran into a reference indicating T.R. took two .405’s to Africa and one was equipped with, “electric lighted sights” (and a Maxim silencer). In addition, reportedly one of the two 1903 Springfields that went along also had the same lighted sight (and also was fitted with a Maxim silencer). This is a new one to me. What do others know?

If you are referring to the Field and Stream article I am curious as well.

I had not been aware this reference appeared in a Field and Stream article. Here is where I found the reference (picture #8 in this auction). By the way, this is an interesting .405. I don’t believe I have seen a .405 fitted for a Maxim silencer before:

I found this article. There is also not mentioned more specifically. Only “illuminated sights” and “arrangement for shooting at night”.
