Re: Lyman No 35 receiver sight

Sorry about that guys:)

Great that you were able to get the deal done. We pay stupid prices for this stuff in the US unless it's a deal between collectors.

Nick Stroebel's "Old Gunsights and Rifle Scopes" (2008 edition) lists the Lyman 35 at $350-750. He states about the 35:

"Early sights were supplied in a white box with white labeling. Inside is red tissue wrapping paper, a printed sheet with installation and shooting instructions, and all mounting hardware. Later sights were supplied in a black cardboard box with orange and white labeling. Inside were white waxed wrapping paper, a printed sheet of installation and shooting instructions, and all mounting hardware. No. 35 sights are not normally marked other than with the Lyman trademark."

Would love to have one of those early ones new in the box!

I wish I had paid more attention to sights in general in the past. Wonderful area of collecting that I was completely oblivious to.
