M.1858 Springfield/Richmond rear sight wanted

[Dave Fox]

Restoring an original 1861-dated high-hump Richmond. Need an 1858 rear sight, preferably original. Thanks. Dave Fox

I have a 1858 base but just to be sure. Do you have a picture of what you need?

The key feature is the small, rounded projection centered on the front of the underside of the sight base, called a steadying pin.

Dave,

I have one for sale. Just the base is $75 shipped. If I can put sight leaves in it, the price jumps to $175 shipped. Pictures later in the next day or so. Keep in touch.

You've not scared me off, friend Gaul....

Dave,

This is the rear sight for your 1855/1858 Richmond musket. The base alone is $75 and the total of remaining parts are $175 shipped. The parts are original.
