You can't say muntjack without saying mmmmm
Hi guys, I'm after a couple of items that I suspect are made from unobtainium, namely, original, plastic foresights for the Webley Hawk (3 of), and Webley Osprey. Every one I've ever seen has been cracked.

There are some original rearsight units on 'that auction site' at the moment maybe the seller has front sights too, try emailing them? Welcome to the BBS

When they were first produced the foresights were plastic. It was only later that they switched to metal, probably after they kept getting requests for replacement sights.Hi Harry,& welcome to the BBS.This is as good a place to find your wanted's....but I thought the Osprey foresight's were metal & not plastic..?
The Osprey sight was the same general shape as the Hawk ones, but the ramp was relieved a bit on the bottom to allow for the thicker barrel.
