Rear Sight LP08

H.P.Langenbach · 08-10-2003, 01:31 PM

Hello friends,
recently I have purchased a LP08, DWM from 1917, good conditions, matching numbers beside grips and magazines.
IÃ?Â´m trying hard to bring it successful back to the shooting range but unfortunately on the upper part of the rear sight the indexing is totally worn out. The slide for adjusting the distance can not be fixed in the respective position.
So IÃ?Â´m looking for a replacement of the rear sight, at least the part.
Anybody out there who can help me?
Thanks a lot and kind regards from Germany
Peter

Hello Pete,
thanks for your quick reply.
Have just a look to the e-bay quotation.
