VERY RARE CASED SET OF WINCHESTER MID-RANGE TANG SIGHT & SPIRIT LEVEL FRONT SIGHT.

VERY RARE CASED SET OF WINCHESTER MID-RANGE TANG SIGHT & SPIRIT LEVEL FRONT SIGHT. Fine cased set consisting of a thick sight base marked “73” on the tension spring underneath the base; a 5″ vernier staff; a Winchester wind gauge spirit level front sight with five inserts and a spare insert clamp without spirit level and the fine knurled thumb screw. The eye piece for the staff is missing along with another small implement whose recess is empty. Set is housed in a fine black velvet lined, black leatherette covered hard case with nickel silver latch in the front. Top of case is gold embossed “WINCHESTER / VERNIER / AND WIND GAUGE / SIGHTS.” These cased sets are extremely rare to find separated from their orig rifles.

Wind gauge front sight, spare clamp, base, two of the inserts and the thumb screw retain most of their bright orig factory blue. Sight staff & two of the inserts are a light brown patina and possibly not orig to this case. Overall a fine rare set. 4-40304 JR185 (7,500-10,500)
