Michael,
It's a wonder those little pieces of wood ar ever present, if only held in by friction!
You don't think the rear one could at one time have been attached to the spring somehow?
Re. the open topped rear sight;
Do you think it was opened up later, and was originally closed?
The brass inlay appears to be missing from the flat area, and looks a bit like the sight was 'modified' at some time?
what do you think?
All best wishes,
Richard.
