Is there a site to go to on Lyman sights, older ones. I know my model 64 had a lyman 56 option but I see a 56, 56a, 56b and really have not idea what the difference is.

The Lyman 56 sight was a $7 option on the Win. 71 in 1953, making the price $107.30.
The 1953 price for the 56 sight was $8 and the Win 64 was $91.60.
Hope this helps.
EDIT: Since the 1954 Stoegers catalog would have been printed in 1953, I suppose it's possible that the Lyman 66 sight might have been available as early as 1953. The 1954 Stoegers does not list the 56 sight. There is also the Redfield #70EH from that era. The H stands for coin slotted hunter knobs which I would think you'd want on a hunting rifle. The coin slotted knobs on the Lyman 66 sight were called "Stayset".
The No. 56A is the correct sight for a 1953 vintage Model 64... if that is the actual year yours was manufactured. What is the serial number on your Model 64?
Bert you already checked out the serial for me, it is a 53. I haven't taken the fore arm off yet to get you the photo of the year number on the barrel, but I will do that.
