AUTOMATIC 

 FLEXIBLE JOINT 



Rear Sight 



There are SIX Reasons why this Sight is 

 better than any other, and the price is only 



$3. 



1st— Strong Coiled Spring in Hinge Joint. This automatically 

 and instantly brings the sight to position for shooting, no matter how 

 much it is knocked about in the brush or by a firing bolt. It may be 

 easily fastened down when desired. 



2nd— Used on Rifles with long Firing Bolts, as per illustration 



showing Marble Sight on 1895 Model Winchester. 



3rd — Locking Sleeve. The lower sleeve locks the upper or elevat- 

 ing sleeve and prevents it from being accidentally turned, 



Our new 56-page catalog gives the other three reasons, with full descrip- 

 tion and numerous illustrations; also describes Marble's Improved 

 Front Sight. Send stamp for catalog "A." Buy of dealer, or direct
