My real 1902 carbine sight has the "c" on the right side of the base, but, IIRC some legitimate sights have the "c" on the left-side.
(Attached photos of genuine 1898 and 1902 rear sights - carbine version. The 1902 sight has the 1903 Springfield elevation - 'lock screw' head. Also note, the "c" was stamped before the sight base was 'browned' and there is no disrupted metal).
