Since this is a research/ data collection forum.... here's a new one. This L-block dot 1943 is a matched rifle, yet the rear sight has a different number. The rear sight is vintage 1943 Brunn in font and numbering location.
The reason I suspect it's a factory replacement is the base is numbered per Brunn, but there is a "2" below the 9552. I have never seen a "2" beneath the sn like this before. Thinking here of rebarrels with the 0,2.
Seems like the possibility of Bubba changing out this rear sight is about zero, IMO. If he/she did, the fit is perfect, the rear sight is Brunn '43 vintage, and the "2" beneath the serial is coming from who?
