This is the first Marbles flexible tang sight I’ve actually seen , other than in books. I found it in a box of other fine Winchester sights etc. at the Calgary show on Easter weekend. It came along with a pretty nice deluxe ’94. Does anyone know, Approximately what years were they offered on the ’94?

Henry, according to Stroebel, this sight was shown in the Marble”s 1905 catalog through at least the 1934 catalog. He lists this W1S is for the 25-35, 30-30 and the 32 SPL. The W2S was for the 32-40 and 38-55.
Looks like a good fit for your gun…

Here’s another of the sights that was in that box. The sight is marked 32 special but notice the box is marked 25/35, 30/30 and 32 Special. I don’t ever recall seeing one of these sights on a 25/35 or 30/30, have any of You.

Box has nothing to do with sight, which is Win not Lyman. Box is for Lyman #1 tang sight, made in or after 1899, as that was the yr the #2 tang sight was introduced.
