I just looked at a 1900 vintage wesley richards, sxs 12 bore, that sported a front sight that was a small rectangle box, with a red "half bead" on the side facing the shooters eye. The owner insisted that it was the original sight. Looked like a lyman or marbles sight to me. Has anyone seen anything other than a metallic bead, or ivory bead on a double of this vintage?

Any help appreciated.

I love the look Hobbs, my Vizsla, gives me following my second miss in a row.
