I picked up my first K31 today and noticed something odd right off the bat. It has what appears to be some type of micrometer rear sight adjuster installed. Unlike the Furter sights, this one does not replace the entire sight leaf. It is marked with an H and a T (see pictures). The knob is numbered from 0 to 5 and makes incredibly fine adjustments in elevation. The seller made no indication of this item, so needless to say I was a bit surprised. It appears to be absent of any type of manufacturer markings so I can't identify it. I would really appreciate any information on this.

Also, to my dismay, my rifle did not come with a tag underneath the butt plate. However, I was looking over the rifle and noticed a name stamped on the sling. At first I thought it was the owner of the rifle, but then realized that it was most likely the manufacturer. I would still appreciate a second opinion on this however. Do all of you with a sling have markings similar to this? From what I can see it is stamped:

Ed Zurcher
1942

Thank you all so much for your time!
 
Your sight corrector is a Sahli, a basic elevation only corrector worth 60-70 bucks.

I think the marking on the sling is the makers mark. Many small leather shops supplied the Swiss with slings.
