    Hard to find as many of them have broken by now, Early HW sights fit very well without modification, mounting screw etc all line up, The earlier ones don't have the plastic and look spot on.

    The Weihrauch ones are better and less fragile than the originals. I had to put a blanking plate on mine and drill a hole as the screw (forget which one, think it was the front retaining one) was smaller in diameter than the HW one.

    I put a nylon washer in in the front hole to take up the difference, also seen this done with an o ring to save modifying the pistol or sight, They do work well, I fitted an HW one with a rotating rear plate with 4 different sight gaps, worked superbly well for target shooting and could be adjusted for different light, I do have an early 53 with the original sight but prefer shooting with the HW option,

    John Groenewold in the US has some original parts left for the LP53. No sight blades left though and not cheap.
