    Has anyone actually seen this unusual winged sight on an early Superposed ? In 39 years of collecting pre-wars I have never encountered one. Would love to correspond with others who might have. Thank you.

    I have a pigeon grade skeet with this sight.
    I can post pictures tomorrow if you want.

    Yes please do so and any chance we can correspond off-line ? I'm not sure how to send private messages on this forum.

    My grandfather had purchased this in 1997 from the original owners family. A doctor from Lancaster Ohio bought it new. I do have the original order receipt for this one (somewhere in my house) with options as follows: red recoil pad, twin single triggers, vent rib, airplane sight, skeet chokes, and case.
    The sight is actually cut into the rib to lay flat.

    Nice gun you have there. Previous owner appears to have looked after it.
