A couple of years ago, a couple of hand drawings done by Frank Baughman of his proposed ramp front sight were posted. I have run a few searches but cannot find them. Can anyone repost these, please?

Here you go. I found this in a Roy Jinks article, "The Revolver that Changed the Direction of Handgunning." It was published in the Winter 1989 S&WCA Journal. As an SWCA member you can look at it online at the SWCA site.
There is also a drawing of what Roy says was the first quick draw ramp front sight dated December 30, 1935 from Mr. L. E. Nitschke of Chicago, eight months before the Baughman order.
Roy says of Frank Baughman, this sight which to this day carries his name, may not have been his design.
