This is not a military C96. As a commercial C96, Lyman sight does reflect this gun's history, nothing is really wrong with that. It's installed professionally, and actually, that's one reason I acquired this one. Otherwise, I would not need another vL&D (I had another one, serial is only 200 away, with original sights). And, it does improve aiming due to the front sight's golden color.

Also, the lanyard ring is missing on this gun. I will leave that alone as well, although finding a lanyard ring is a simple task. God knows why so many otherwise excellent vL&Ds do not have lanyard rings..... they might not have rings when they were sold initially, if I put a ring on it,,,,, no, no. I will leave it as is.

Previous owner added a German military like stock harness to it. That's totally wrong. I will undo that.
