Neil, To the contrary....
I find your quest refreshing... it has definitly opened up a can of worms, (a real big can of worms!) but, it has actually stimulated some very brisk and pointed discussion....the very reason this forum exsists! I think you could pursue your quest with wideopen parameters...all the way from an exact navy replica, to a neat modern takeoff of the original unit! I do not think it feasible, or cost effective to make a sight that would be exactly as original, as just making the rear toggle piece itself would be an extrordinary feat! I hope you don't lose your enthusiam, as the personal satisfaction is reward enough for the effort! till...later...G.T.
