Where can I purchase replacement blades for express sights? I have antique double and single guns with broken or missing blades. If I can get blanks, I can fit them myself and adjust the height.

I have never seen them offered. I think that you will need to have them custom made.

orent,
I suggest you contact New England Custom Guns. If they don't have individual Leafs (blades) from ERA available, you might find it almost as cheap and quicker to buy a three (or two if you only need two) folding leaf express sight from them and modify the leafs to fit your bases.

I always found it far easier to just start from scratch when reproducing small parts that were originally handmade. Most of the sights, sling swivels and such were turned out by children in sweat shops back then. Just the way is was. No two are quite the same.
The sights available from NECG only bear a passing resemblance to antique sights, and are made quite differently. You'll spend more time trying to modify something that still won't look right when you're done, than just making all of it correctly in the first place.

Orent,
Mike Rowe is the "authority" on this, listen to him. I was only thinking about getting the small hole in the bottom for the hinge pin.
