Need the odd looking two flap rear sight for the 1850 something Germanic weapon with the double barrel band. SimplE looking until you need one. Several French and Belgian weapons had a similar sight. Lodge wood does not have one.Steve SullivanEx-46th Illinois

Steve -

Try a search through the archives of this BB for a contact point for Rich Cross. I believe he has recently had some experience with reproducing the sight you are looking for. Perhaps it was just missing leafs for an original base, but it's worth a try.
