Richard,
That's a beautiful 38-44.
That rifle sight was a very common 1930's thru the 1950's era front sight treatment when a fixed sight gun was converted to a target. I have a Model 1950 45 Military with the same treatment but with a Micro Click rear sight.
But yours is unique. I've never seen a target model with the front sight and base removed and replced with the ramped rifle sight in it's place.
Is the underneath of the rear sight #d to the gun?
