Any chance you have a 48B Lyman sight you could sell?

Thanks

I have a number of Lyman 48 sights but am at a loss as to what a "48B" might be. Please enlighten me.

Easiest way to spot a 48B is to compare spacing between clicks on elevation knob. Earlier B has twice the spacing compared to later 48C. If you have a 48 B you would sell I would be appreciate it!

Since I'm not a sight collector, I have no clue what the "spacing" should be on a 48C so would have no idea how to compare it to a 48B. Over the years, I have accumulated a fair amount of Lyman sights. I have looked at the catalogues for some indication of what the numbers and letters mean and find no reference to a "B". These letters seem to commonly denote a rifle series that the sight base fits and there is no "B" that I can find.

Sorry, still getting the hang of posting photos. The first sight is a 48C (double), the second sight is a 48 B. Note the wider spacing of adjustments.
