    I bought a set of Mk3 sights off the bay, Turns out the rearsight unit is same so I fitted the mk3 rearsight to my Service

    EDIT- Doh!! You meant the aperture sight?

    webley sights

    Hi, like Binners, I also bought the same sight from Knibbs several years ago, IIRC they also sold the sight in separate parts, as Jonbaz says the MK111 sight will fit, (and was fitted as standard on later MK11 Services) Knibbs have this sight at £45, part noAR77. ,Protek have one at £54(ouch) one on EEbay buy now, £47.50,item 322287739503, hope this helps,
    ATB, Ray.

    To clarify your request, are you looking for the left offset mounted rear aperture sight or the dovetail mounted rear sight ?

    Or even, the 2 leaf flip up?

    I was going to try and post a picture but couldn't
    The sight fold down onto the left hand side of the rifle
    I have bought a few 17b sights for the mk111 of
    And they seem quite cheap I have never seen the one

    There's a thread somewhere on here or maybe "over there" from a man that made a great replica.
    The factory drawings were supplied by a very supportive forum pal.
    Will try to find it.

    It's as I thought, you need the aperture sight for a first pattern Service, which, unless you are incredibly lucky, will be harder to find than hen's teeth.
    Best of luck in your quest.
