Got back home today and the package was waiting for me.
The sight is “no shit” NIB, with a few minor pinpoint flecks of humid climate storage rust spots, will get it cleaned up and oiled tomorrow.
The posted pictures on the advert must have had the flash showing wear that was not there.

I believe I’m going to source a spare cocking knob for my Wm. Evans 1893 Steyr .256 Mannlicher and have this mounted to it so that I can preserve the original unaltered.

My guy Steve Bertram (skb/bouldersmith) says it would be an easy upgrade. Will post pictures when done, likely next Spring.
