Did Rick ever find his Vernier sight?

Bruce,

The sight we were discussing here was the Long Range Vernier not the Graduated Peep. Here is a picture and the price is much more than $500. The cased set is about $8,000 to $10,000 the last I knew.

Saw one for sale a couple years ago that had some missing parts and condition issues that was for sale at around $4000.  The worst part was how damaged the outside of the box was.  Some parts were brand new with no loss of bluing and others were worn out.  I thought about this one for a long time but did not buy it.

Bob, what was in the upper left corner originally?

Chuck,

You would of had the spirit level / insert retainer or the flat insert retainer in that spot. I haven’t seen nothing else with any of the other box sets I have seen that would fit that spot.

Bob, that looks better.  Is this box missing a couple of front sight inserts?

Chuck,

The box had 5 inserts but that last picture I posted was one from the internet and had 3. I went searching to see if any others had something else with them that would of fit that spot. Here are mine.

Very cool Bob.  I’d be happy to own any of these. I do have some of the parts but no box.
