I picked this up last weekend and trying to figure out what I have.

The holes are .165 in diameter and the spacing is 1.5" between centers.
There's no makers mark on it that I can find.

8049480493

Any ideas?

Doc, you'll get quicker replies on the ASSRA forum or up in the BP catagory here on Cast Boolits.

This would be my guess "Base mounting holes are 1.510" on center. Made in Italy, this sight is often fitted to Sharps rifles by Pedretti, EMF, IAB, Siles, or Powder River" http://www.trackofthewolf.com/Categories/PartDetail.aspx/883/1/RS-CREED-3-WE

Darn Italian rocker sight. They are only good for shooting at one range as as you go up or down the windage changes too. I have about 4 of them in pieces in the junk drawer and as I get time I convert them to a solid base. They were made for everyting under the sun but this one looks like the older M/L sight.

I was hoping it was something fancy and desired.
I think I'll put in on my 30/30.
