1918 Artillery Question

If it were a decent-looking example, at best it will be a decent-looking shooter, as it will be cast into this category by having a mis-matched extension and sight assembly. One might obtain these parts, as you say-- ~$1-200 extension, same range, maybe a little more for sight leaf, plus same range for installation. Value you'd be "shooting" for is $1-1.2K for nice Arty shooter. If you were to get it for $400, then fix it, you'd be OK (presuming no other damage).

I'm with Bill.
