Default Help with KING front undercut sight blades

I’ve been trying to sort out a bunch of grips, holsters and parts…

I came across this set of 3 KING blades. I saw the same ones in a McGivern book (Fast and Fancy…) on page 398, #7:

King Undercut Black Post Sight, 3 sizes.

Do all three go as a set or individually?

Which model gun?
What are they worth?

Thanks for the help!

Its unlikely they are meant to come together. Its likely each size is for different frames and calibers.

I have one on top of my King ribbed MP target.
Some have a letter-number on the half moon piece that identifies what gun they are for.

In the past price wise Red post blades without a base have been around 75 to 125.00ish

An undercut maybe a bit less unless one will match a RM size.

Don't read too much into this, but my knee-jerk reaction to those 3 sight blades was K-38 (for the tallest), then K-32 (for the middle), and K-22 (for the shortest).

And they go individually.

And George Dye is the only person I know who was in the sight business enough to have a feel for the value------and that was a while back.

Linda, a few years ago at the Texas Symposium, I believe, George Dye traded me a King red post sight for my King undercut on my RM. He valued the undercut at $100 and the red post at $125. Maybe that will give you useful price points.
