fjr, what they originally had I don't know. The ivory or ivory type sights appeared to be hand filed and the entire sight was of that material. They were....bulky, really thick and heavy and literally unusable.

I don't have a picture host so I can't show you pictures.....and I don't think I have any of making a front sight. I made the front sight like all the others, on my little mill. They are a 75 degree dovetail and as with most old, German sporters, the dovetail is longitudinal at the muzzle in the rib. I think I make the sights .050 tall and then file them in. After I have the best load and the height of the front sight right I'll shape it. I am not a machinist or gunsmith by trade so it takes me a while but, I enjoy doing it. 44 years as an electrician/electrical contractor does not a machinist make.
