Repros.  (Which AG wouldn’t use anyway!)  Jeff’s Outfitters used to carry a good Beach repro, but not currently listed.

It’s hard to find these Lyman no.3 front sights. Anything on Ebay Is either not ivory or it’s missing the ivory.

Ag,

I dug up a couple more.  I have one with 80% blue some surface rust with the patent date on the bottom $60 and another with no finish and general surface rust, the ivory is worn but still there and has the patent on top $30. These have a little wider base than the last one for a wider barrel.

Hey, Bob, I’ll take that one…it’s as good as most of my guns, & I know it’s not up to AG’s standards.

I just found one locally yesterday so I’m good now but thank you for offering Bob. I’m sure someone on here will need one.
