Any opinions on the front sight hood? It fits loosely on the front sight ramp and doesn't appear correct. Looking through Speed's Oberndorf book, I see a Mauser sight hood of similar appearance. I'd doubt the owner would have kept an original sight hood while replacing both front and rear sights. but does anyone have an original Oberndorf sight hood for comparison?

Happened to be paging through the Oberndorf Sporting Rifles book last night and saw this drawing. All dimensions match, so it seems I received a bonus in obtaining an original hood with the rifle. It fits loosely on the Marbles front sight base so I think I will keep a hold of it in case I end up buying another Oberndorf Mauser which I could use it on. They don't seem to be common on rifles I've seen for sale.
