The one on the left looks like it is maybe a Lyman 2A? What about the other one?

John,
The sight on the right is a Lyman No. 103 Micrometer Wind gauge. What application code does it have on the underside of the base?

Bert,
I don’t have them in hand yet, so don’t know. I must confess – they are a bit of a “pig in a poke”. I bought them both at an online auction. They were in with a bunch of other stuff, some sheath knives, a couple of rear sights, a pocket knife, etc. They looked interesting, and the price was right so I took a chance.
I’m just hoping they are both for Winchester 94/92’s.

The base on the No. 103 looks a little short for the Winchester, but if it has a “DA” application code, it is correct for a Model 92/94.

As soon as they arrive, I will update. Thank you for the ID, if it doesn’t fit one of my Winchesters I’ll sell it off to pay for the rest of the swag I won…… or maybe buy the rifle it does fit.

I forget to mention, the Lyman No. 2A appears to be for a Winchester Single Shot (it will have an “S” code), or a Model 1886 (“N” or “NI” code).

Well – if that’s the case I struck out on both counts.

I disagree… an “S” coded Lyman No. 2A tang sight is a minimum $400 sight. If it is an “N” or NI” coded sight, it is easily worth $350. The Lyman No. 103 sights run from $450 – $600 depending on the application code. You could easily be sitting on $750 – $1,000 worth of sights.

If the No. 2A has an “S” or “SB” on the underside of the base, I will take it off of your hands at a reasonable price.

Thank you, Bert. When it arrives all will be revealed, and if it is what you are looking for I promise to give you first right of refusal.
