"Looks like a King style super police front sight." (410bore)

I may be about to learn something! I have a 7 1/2" TL Target with what appears to be the (EXACT) same sight---not counting the fact mine sticks WAY up in the air. I'd never seen one before---and this is the first one since. Mine is numbered to the gun, but I have no recollection of a King stamp on it. It seems like I'd remember something like that--never mind it's been the better part of 20 years since it was off for its welcome bath.

Although, now that I've been obliged to think about all this, this gun was shipped in early 1909--and King started up in the early teens--1913, right? Was he doing sights (commercially) before establishing his company---or is that what "King style" alludes to? And if so, where might I find illustrations of a similar sight from King from a later period----or elaboration on whatever the term "style" relates to------and like that?

"Confusion reigns supreme!"
