Picked this up at a show this morning out of a "junk" box.It is the complete site plus two apertures one of which has been cut down.The cut down one is marked W I.The one on the base is stamped U.Do these look like the real deal?I know there are a lot of fakes out there.

The one with the U is post ww2 production. I believe all ww2 produced "flip" sights had the aperture pin staked. The cut down aperture is probably an original Inland part.
