How many lengths of Lyman 48 slides were there? I have a short slide on a 1903 and what I thought was a long slide on a 1922 Springfield, but my long slide is nowhere near that long.

The first experimental Lyman 48 sight had a slide 2.510" long and only a few of these were made. The 48 marked to 150 was introduced 1911 and was 2.430" long. The 48 marked to 125 now called the long slide by most people was introduced circa 1919.
There was another later shorter sight but I don't have that length or date in my head, I'm someone here can fill in the blanks.
