Darn nice and in way better condition than my 93 in .38-55 was and in today's money I paid way more for it (in 1973). AND it is D&T for receiver sights :?: . Needs a good steel Lyman or Redfield. :wink:

Hobie; I can confirm the age of the Williams sights as far back as 1962. The impression I got from the gunsmith that installed(D/T) my FP on my Winny, was that the sights were a recent introduction. Perhaps we should look back in some older Shooters Bibles or Gun Digests. Pepe Ray I should do somet...

Old Savage, I don't know for certain. When the 5D came out it really cost $5.00! I'm guessing 1946 or so due to the aluminum fabrication. AFAIK it has always been made of aluminum ("aircraft" aluminum as I remember it). You'll probably remember that the term "aircraft" was often ...
