Re. Your cocking piece site, look at our 'Classic' Firearms Photos & Archive - Post by " kuduae " Cocking-piece aperture sights. Your base looks like a Parker Hale Sportarget.

I disagree, this is not the remains of a Parker-Hale "Sportarget" sight. It is certainly a Lyman Nr. 1 sight, same as the one on my similar Gibbs-Mannlicher. BTW the Lyman 1A had a small additional locking lever, the Nr. 1 did not.

You will note that the Parker Hale sight base is not dovetailed into the cocking piece. The Lyman No.1 sight base is dovetailed into the cocking piece, as is the Holland and Holland rifle in question. It is undoubtedly a Lyman sight base.
