    Help identifying a rear sight..

    This rear sight is all I have left of my childhood air rifle, and for sentimental reasons I would like to identify it!

    I seem to remember it being an Original model 45 but can't be sure. It would have been late eighties and certainly wasn't new when I was given it.

    No idea where it ended up, but I found the sight whilst clearing out my dads attic.

    Anyone recognise it?

    (Just trying to upload a pic, not working on flickr or photobucket)

    I find Photobucket very slow, so it's worth minimising the photos first.

    Are you thinking about a recreation of your chilhood gun? It just occurs to me that usually people have the gun & are looking for sights...

    For some reason none of the photo hosting sites are working with ios8, tried several. Will try from my Pc later.

    Just asking to satisfy my curiosity really, if it transpires that someone has the rifle minus the sight then they are welcome to have this one!

    Not quite, I wonder if it could have been scavenged from another rifle. I do recall a leather breach seal.
