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.
