Hi guys, I'm after a couple of items that I suspect are made from unobtainium, namely, original, plastic foresights for the Webley Hawk (3 of), and Webley Osprey. Every one I've ever seen has been cracked.

There are some original rearsight units on 'that auction site' at the moment maybe the seller has front sights too, try emailing them? Welcome to the BBS
Thanks for the welcome Gareth.
Hi Harry,& welcome to the BBS.This is as good a place to find your wanted's....but I thought the Osprey foresight's were metal & not plastic..?
They are metal its the rearsight thats plastic, allways broken on any old Webley from that period that i have seen. wellcome to bbs and good luck.

When they were first produced the foresights were plastic. It was only later that they switched to metal, probably after they kept getting requests for replacement sights.
The Osprey sight was the same general shape as the Hawk ones, but the ramp was relieved a bit on the bottom to allow for the thicker barrel.
