Tang sight for High Wall

pdog72

I am looking to add a graduated peep or mid-range vernier type tang sight for my 1885 High wall. I would like something that looks as close to original as possible. An original period sight would be great, but probably impossible to find. Does anyone have a suggestion on who makes a good creedmore style sight without spending a fortune. I would prefer a case hardened finish if possible, but its not necessary.

Less than $200 would be nice.

The only case hardened tang sight I know of is the Kelley.
MVA is the leader in the field, though.

What do you consider a "fortune" to spend on sights?

The least expensive reputable US brand I know of is Ron Heilman's. He has several customers on the Shiloh board.

Me?
I use Baldwins even though they don't look as period as the MVA.

Original Graduated Peep or Mid-range vernier tang sights were never case color finished... instead, they were blued.

Axtell makes very nice reproductions of original Winchester sights.

Doubt you'll find em any cheaper than this. Jeff is a great guy to deal with too!

Thanks for all the suggestions. I guess I have some shopping to do. Maybe I'll lean towards the blued version to maintain the correct look for the time. I'll try to post some pics someday when I get one on it.
