I came across this on Gun Broker, can anyone identify the front site ?

It looks like a variation of the Finnish Luger

The photograph APPEARS to show a front sight that is pointed on top and wider at the base which suggests a Mauser rifle sight. I have a parts Luger with a new 6 inch .30 barrel and a Mauser rifle front sight fit perfectly. I trimmed the dovetail "ears" on the sight with a Dremmel tool because they extended out too far and didn't look right. The rifle sight works quite well and looks OK too..... at least on a mis-matched shooter it does.

I agree with Doubs, Mauser rifle front sight, I have several of these and have used them when I needed a higher front sight on a shooter.
