Here’s a very strange tang sight on a Model 53. Anyone recognize it? Its not a bad looking 53 either, with more condition than they usually have.

Parker-Hale tang sight. The one on the 53 looks a little different, maybe older?

We had a discussion awhile back:

Thanks Brad, I had forgotten about that thread. It sure is a bulky sight and not very pleasing to the eye.
