Globe sight ID?

[Tommie]

This appears to be a Lyman 17A based upon my Googlefoo but really I know nothing about this type of sight. Wanting to change the insert. What inserts are compatible with this (maybe) 17A?

Take the insert out and measure it. No clue from just a picture.

Thanks Walt. I’m assuming measure the diameter without the side tabs, right?

 

[Walt Krafft]

Yes the round part.

@Walt Krafft does this help?

It certainly looks like a Lyman 17A. Lee Shaver Gunsmithing in Lamar, Missouri sells inserts made from spring steel that are acid etched from flat stock. The big benefit over the Lyman is thinner cross pieces and apertures(circles) to look through for a much improved sight picture.
