Sight Identification ?

[Brad Deckard]

Ive got Oerlikon sights and Oerlikon sights are smaller in diameter, with less mounting holes. ( Oerlikon have two mounting holes)

Im thinking more of Bofors?

I am used to the bofors having two U shaped mounting holes....at least with the Stukey type sights.

This is the wartime Bofors sight.

The wartime Bofors sights are interesting, But these are 1957.. what did post war sights look like, also if you look at the mounting hole area on the wartime bofors diagram , its similar to the unidentified sight bottom....

On a sideline.... are Bofors sights easy to get hold off? I have bofors guns but all are missing the sights!! Thats when I dug these unidentified sights out of a crate with a view of making them up... and a friend said they look like bofors sights..

I am not certain, Brad, but there might be another letter hiding in front of ORBINIA. If so, maybe that is the makers name and you might find them on the web to see what they were up to in the 50's.

There is a guy in Greece who has what appears to be Bofors sights, and best thing is you can tell what the time is so you don't miss dinner: https://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-WW...8AAOSw0HVWE9pG

The ones I have are similar but a bit simpler. If it wasn't so damn cold out I'd head to the shed and get some photos.

Ed's shots are of an earlier sight setup before the Stukey came into being.
