Hi, ive got a 127 serial no 13334 and it has a dovetail front sight not the wrap around what mk does that make it?
Neil
i have a 127 which i believe is a mk1 has two slots on the end of the barrel,the front sight slides onto these and is tightened by a screw.the trigger on this model is plastic.in the case of the mk2 the trigger is meta li think.from memory i think the front sight on the mk2 has inter-changeable elements which the mk1 lacks.there are more enlightened fwb enthusiasts on here than me and they will probably fill in any gaps.or correct my comments. atb.
From memory, all sub-30,000 serial FWB Sports were Mk1s. I think there was a thread a few years ago that went into this question, if anyone can dig it up?

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.
What I should have said earlier was that 'some' of the early Mark 1's were fitted with wrap around front sights, not all. It is thought that these wrap arounds were left over from the Model 150. All Mark 1's were fitted with plastic triggers initially, but due to breakage a lot of these were replaced with metal triggers.
As Danny 'Garvin' states, an in depth thread about the above can be found in the archives.

Just wondering if any kind member could put up a pic of the wrap around sight so we know what we are looking for?
