So quick question, who is making the 1866 for Navy Arms? Is there a manufacturer label on it? Thanks Sam ---

Thanks! The sight is puzzling, couldn’t find it on any schematics. Looks like it belongs there though. Edit: Maybe a copy of an 1873 rear sight. Not identical but real similar. ---

So here are some photos of what original sights for the 66 looked like. ![IMG_9506](https://sixguns.com/uploads/default/original/1X/a758252e986ee756a8d66d34b2e127994ce2c237.jpeg) ![IMG_9508](https://sixguns.com/uploads/default/original/1X/c646c2712225de4b1b91d122b50a5ef04400f020.jpeg) ![IMG_9507](https://sixguns.com/uploads/default/original/1X/9a36dc1b2760c4c994774222cbeb6223532ecf35.jpeg) ---

Wish Winchester had not discontinued their Yellowboy in .38 Special…or I had bought the one languishing for the longest time in a local gun shop for \<$1K…
