Goosic, my Maltby rifle currently wears the Singer sight that you sent me a couple of years ago.
I use the rifle in the Service Rifle standard class; so the better sight is essential. The original is tucked away for safe keeping.
The card washer is to stop the oil bottle rattling on the stock bolt I believe. 
Did your rifle come with the oil bottle and cleaning cord?

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

Unfortunately it did not come with the oiler or pull through but, I do have period correct items tucked away somewhere. Just cannot remember where they are tucked away at the moment.  I have a Singer MkI rear sight and a Lyman 3LE Ivory Bead front sight that I intend to use when I do shoot the rifle. Every little bit helps ya know.

So, your rifle was never stamped with a PP then?

Yes I understand. I was just trying to differentiate between Nazis, Germans, French & the 2 zones.
