    They are Hammerli sights, just missing the ID label. Very high quality, worth £100 plus for the pair IMO.

    Most if not all Hammerli rear sights were dedicated to one specific size sight rail. Those fitted to my Hammerli 450 were made to Anscutz rear sight size rails & won't fit anything else. The forsight on the other hand is dedicated FWB size so again won't fit anything else!
    IF IT'S NOT BROKE.........DON'T FIX IT!

    I defer to wonky donky's greater knowledge of match airguns and diopters than mine and I don't doubt that what he says is true. All I know is that I've seen several of this model of Hammerli rear sight for sale on egun, advertised as being suitable for 11mm dovetails.

    eg.

    Danny your quite correct in what you say, however, Hammerli did make the sights dedicated to specific rifles, ie, FWB, Anschutz etc. You will find the widths & depth of the various manufacturers rails differ, hence the need for maker specific riser blocks.

    Thank you both for the info.

    I have fitted the sight on my Weihrauch HW77 and it fits like a glove on the 11mm scope rail.

    The front tunnel also fit quite good.

    Best wishes.
