Re: Lyman aperture sights on original Mauser sporters

The Lyman 35 mounts to the Mauser 98 bolt release as well. The 35 and 36 sights are unique and very cool.

That’s a beautiful original box and packing on the 36. I have an older 57 in the same box and packaging which came with a pre-64 model 70 I bought in Sweden years ago. I also have a 48R (for the Remington 30/30-S) in its original 1920’s cloth pouch, still covered in cosmoline. Lyman shipped sights to gunsmiths in these bags, with cosmoline, back in the day. That is the extent of my sight collection.

Somewhere out there is a box or shelf of these vintage sights from a long ago gunsmith or retailer.
