I'm looking for photos of specific gunsights of the WWII era. A single photo of the front sight, single for the rear, then one with them lined up as you would if you were aiming, is what I'm looking for. The weapons:

USA
1903a3 Springfield
M3 "grease gun"
M1918a2 BAR
Browning .30 cal machinegun
M1911a1 Colt .45 pistol

UK
Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk1
Enfield No.2 revolver
Browning FN No.2 pistol
STEN submachinegun
BREN machinegun

German
Luger pistol
P38 pistol
K43 rifle

Russian
Mosin-Nagant 91/38
Mosin-Nagant 1938G carbine
SVT-40
DP 1928 machinegun
PPSh 1941G
Nagant 1895 revolver
Tokarev 33 pistol

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Yes, I have a few sights, but not nearly enough, and I don't know how I'd get the more exotic ones, except if a kind soul from here can help me out.

I'll see what i can do. i have some of those, but no digicam.

It's nice to see modmakers actually doing research for once.

how far along are you, and do you guys need a beta tester/technical advisor?

you could find said firearms on sale at Gunbroker or Gunsamerica, and ask for the photos as a potential buyer :D
