It this a correct front sight for an EG SN range 352xxx? Seems like the later SN'd EGs are a blackend broze.

Looks a little tall but right to me. It may have some finish wear.

I believe it is correct. I think Savage went to the copper colored sights when they resumed production after WWII or shortly thereafter.

The front sights came in at least two different heights depending on caliber. To me, yours looks like the taller height used for the 300 Sav.

I was asking because I do see differences over time. Here are my three EG sights side-by-side.

You have pictured a nice evolutionary progression of the changes in the front sights. All look correct for the period to me.
