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

    1858 base

    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.

    Pictures of 1858 rear sight and parts.

    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.

    True Blue and diamond hard,
