I thought at first that the device on your gun might be a long range focusing device of the type often seen on Mannlichers. The were aligned with the sights and acted like a pinhole lens to sharpen the image. I had one on a gun I once purchased and didn't believe it at first but it actually worked quite well. It brought the sights well into focus at longer distance and rInteresting gThe peep sight is interesting. Very similar devices were seen on a lot of Mannlichers but they were generally not sights but long distance sighting assist devices. They had a very tiny hole and worked like a manual diaphragm in a lens. eally helped. The one on your gun was obviously intended as a peep sight due to the size of the aperature and the lack of any other rear sight.
Interesting gun.
