Hi

If a search or letter does not list a Lyman 21 rear sight on a 1894, was it added outside the factory? No R@R.

Here’s a good example of a gun like one you are referring to:

Walter,

Yes, it was most likely added after the fact if it is not on the factory letter.

Hi, 

It looked odd to me, but someone paid a lot of money for an altered 1894. I agree the Lyman 21 was added. There was a Express Sight on the barrel.
