    "Old" Diana Model 27

    I have a Diana Model 27 that's missing it's rear sight.

    It's this type of Pre war 27:

    Anyone have a pic of what the rear sight should be like?? Or even have a rear sight?

    Cheers, Paul

    Thanks John, that's spot on.

    All that's left of my rear sight is the little dovetail block that the sight appears to be riveted onto. At least I know what I'm looking for now.

    Thanks again.

    Paul this is exactly what it should look like.

    John's one has the adjuster wheel under the leaf for some reason!

    Thank you.
    Just need to find one, or something similar now. Somebody suggested a Relum sight if it could be adapted to fit??
