S/N one million one hundred and fourteen thousand range seems to be around 1988 (stamped made in West Germany so must be pre 1990).
My question is it has a peep style front sight, I've never seen this before, has someone replaced the original blade or was such a version ever made?

I haggled the dealer down from £185 to £155 so I thin kI've done fairly well. Any thoughts appreciated-thanks Andy
I still have a front sight and back sight from my HW80 which I sold with scope on. The front sight is like yours as there was a little plastic wallet with it which contained various inserts including the peep type.
