The Mauser 20 shot at RIA

[conehammer]

I looked over the photos of this 20 shot and the rear sight mount doesn't look right, at least it doesn't appear to match what the description says.

The description states "....the early style tangent rear that is held in by a pin driven in from the side...."

However all the photos seem to show a later type press fit that was held in by spring pressure. Maybe it's just my old eyes but what do you guys think?

On second look and by comparison to photos in my books I'm leaning towards it being an optical trick of the light against the pin making it look
larger than it is, like the depression formed by the later type sight mount point....

Obviously I've been going around on this one.................

Comparing a later model Broomhandle with this one I have to believe it's the later type sight....

The 20 shot on top and a later small ring on the bottom, both from this auction.
