I just picked up a 1898-dated CG M/96 and it has a "Vasteras" sight afixed to the rear sight. I thought they were only used on some M/38's. Was it added by a previous owner or would it have been part of a standard configuration?

There is a version made for the m/96. The range begins at 100m for it and ends at 600m. A civilian model, from what I read.

That's what's on it - range from 100 to 600 Meters.

First FSR-ad!

October 1939 came this ad in FSR magazine. Military trial had been made same year in July. So since I was posting in above linked thread my conclusion is now that the S-M-siktet (Västerås sight) was put on market 1939 as first.
