Hello,
A friend gave me a nice box of mixed parts. These three front sights seem unusual. Does anyone know what they are ?
Thanks

the top one is from a pinned Smith...the other two are for Dans!

Looks like the middle one was some sort of silhouette special edition from the ram cut out. The first one just looks like a ribbed ramp sight blade, the last one ??????? I have no idea. Any markings as to who made them?
Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Scorpio, There are no markings on them. The RAM is really detailed...even to its gender. The top sight has a pinned base not the usual base as the other two ? Is it an older style DW or a Smith Wesson. I doubt my friend has anything but Dan Wesson parts.
Thanks

Wonder if that first one is off 11/12? I don't really know what those sights look like.

Sight #1
After the Pork chop era the front sights were pinned, this was before the removable colored sights these were only made for a short time.
Also the compensated barrels use a pinned sight like this.

Dan fan is correct. Up until about serial number 10,000 the front sights were pinned and not easily interchangable. I have seen the bottom ones before. They are DW but don't know if they are factory. Maybe someone has turned a ramp into a Patridge style. A little bit of red nail Polish would work good. Or a tiny dot of gold foil and you would have a gold bead. I love them.
