I just acquired this sight that was on a high wall. I have not found much information about what model it is and what it may be worth. I have seen some similar examples on other Winchester rifles but they make no mention of a model number. Any ideas?
Thanks
Jack

Jack,
Winchester exported a very substantial number of rifles to England (U.K.), nearly all of which were sold directly to J. Kerr & Sons. The Parker Hale sights were installed on the Winchester rifles while they were in the U.K.

Thanks Burt,
This came on an extensively modified rifle that currently has a .22 Douglas barrel on it. It was from the estate of Chuck Bordman from the Tacoma Rifle and Revolver club.

The Douglas barrel was installed by Bill Crane a long time single shot shooter in Tacoma and an accomplished gunsmith. Interestingly it has the 6 o’clock bar extractor BUT has a 12 o’clock rf firing pin.

One of the Australian members on the ASSRA forum found the model number in his Parker Hale catalog.
Here is what he wrote.
That model of AGP (Parker) sight was specifically made to fit Winchester SS & repeaters. Not sure of the specific model. We often see them here in Oz mounted on Low-walls & 92’s. Equivalent to the Lyman 103 with provision for windage & elevation. Built like a battleship and a great sight for field use rather than target shooting.
found it in my 1947 PH catalogue. Listed as the Sportarget Model 10W.N. available with in two staff or pillar heights – short & tall. I’ve actually seen them in three heights with an extra tall variation

Here’s a slightly shorter one that I received on a 1935 M62 that had been to England & back.
The M62 was scoped (in the UK – Parker Hale bases, Winchester 5X scope), so I moved the tang sight to a very late (1940) M90, as shown in the photos. The windage adjustment is a nice feature. IMO, a well designed sight, but finish could be better.
These are referenced in Stroebel’s Gunsights & Rifle Scopes book, bottom of p. 237.
Per the reference, the M90/M06/M62 version is the 10W.R., while the 10W.N. is for Winchester M92, M53, M64, M94, M55, and M65. I can’t find any markings on the sight itself, and other than fit, don’t know how to tell the difference.
