WANTED 1860's Tang Sight for Target Rifle -- Parker-Hale Navy Arms 1856 Volunteer .451

[OldNo7]

On my "unmentionables", I have several nice Soule or Williams peep sights, but those post-date my rifle by too many decades.

Does anyone have a decent tang sight sitting unused that would be period correct for the above rifle?

I'm leaning towards the Mortimer square-shaft sight, as that has windage & elevation and was in use during the 1860's; but I'd consider other options.

Thanks!

I never could find a period correct elevation only sight for my whitworth. If I remember correctly track of the wolf or pedersoli had some that looked pretty close but still had windage hidden in the eyepiece.
