Does anyone know who might have old Lyman sight parts?

The photos show two Lyman 35 sights on a couple Mausers. The one sight is complete and as you can see in comparison, the other needs a few parts: the locking lever, the left side elevation adjustment nut, the windage screw nut (also the right side windage spring). Any assistance in locating these parts (or parts that can be adapted) will be appreciated. Thanks.

The locking lever looks very much like the one on a Lyman 21 used on old Winchester leverguns. Might be interchangeable if you can find a junker 21 or 38 Lyman. Both manufactured in same time frame as the Mauser peeps.

Thank you for the tip.
 
There is an outfit manufacturing Lyman 21 repros and I believe replacement parts.
This appears to be their current website.

Their parts seem to only fit their copy of the Lyman #21, which is not a very accurate copy, so I doubt that their lever will fit an actual Lyman #21, much less my #35. There is another outfit, winchesterbob, that makes what seem to be more accurate copies of the #21. They are in Maine, right on the Canadian border and only about an hour drive from here,

...however they just replied to an email and told me that "we don't make parts for that model"...and that they are closed until mid-August. So that's all pretty much a dead end...maybe if I find a junked #21 I can salvage parts...which may or may not be modified to fit the #35.
