Parker Hale Model 5A Back Sight Aperture for the SMLE Rifle

This is a Parker Hale model 5A aperture back sight for SMLE rifle. This model was first introduced in 1925. The design incorporates the bracket / mount for the SMLE rifle and is very easy to fit. When being used during shooting competitions it proved extremely effective and accurate helping shooters to win the prestigious Kings Prize Winners competition and being recommended by leading riflemen of the period. As is to be expected with Parker Hale sights it is still in perfect working order. It is pictured fitted to a 1915 SMLE for reference.
