Anyone make a four leaf rear sight like those found on Type "A" Oberndorf sporters? Recknagle only makes up to a three leaf rear sight, and their rear sight base is extremely tall/thick. Thanks

Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984:

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

If I remember correctly, the Rechnagel ones are listed as three leaf but one is stationery and three folding, I think!!

Sarco sells the surplus Interarms Whitworth sights; 3 leaves total; I got a box of them.
Recknagel makes three folding and one standing.
I can not find anyone making four leaf sights nowadays.

You might consider taking a mill to the vertical face of the rear (standing) leaf. Making it thinner will also shorten its height. A hand mill works as well as any other, you will just need to be a bit more careful with it. (Hand mill = File)

As with most makes you have to file the notches anyway, to regulate them for the distances you choose, its just one more bit of the same work.

How will that help; what we want is a sight with 4 folder and one standing leaf like the Mauser type A.

You may want to look at the classified (firearms). There is a 416 Rigby being sold that has four folding leafs. Sounds like a custom rifle and maybe the seller (Jens Poulsen) knows where the sight came from.
