Early vs revised rear sight slide comparison

S/42

Thunda from down unda
Most people forget or simply don't know about the revision that occured to the K98 rear sight slide relatively early in it's production. Admittedly, it is easy to overlook, and in case you have never seen it, here are some comparisons.

Note the differences in the width of the slide. Shown here is an early e/63 (narrow slide) and for comparison, a later Elite Diamant made rear sight.

Just a small load of K98 trivia for the day :)
