King "mirror" front sight and receiver-mounted peep sight

[cantgrowup]

I recently picked up a 1912 .35 Rem with the "semi-military rifle" style buttplate. It has a King front sight with the tiny mirror. However, the bead is missing from the blade. Does anyone have a good picture that shows what the bead should look like (if I should try to make and attach a replacement)? Better yet, does anyone have a spare sight for sale?



The rifle also has an upper receiver mounted "peep" sight that appears to have had a sighting disk because of the threads inside the aperture. Does anyone have a picture showing this particular style sight.... or a spare disk?

Nice score on the rifle!

That's an interesting front sight, I have never seen it before. I watched that auction, the sight setup is intriguing with the long radius. I imagine a standard peep aperture would thread into it.

Looks like a redfeild windage peep from the receiver sight. Just threaded to the back.

Thanks Phyrbird!
