Default Any way for me to de-screw this screwed-up model 27?

Be easy on me guys. I know that this was a blasphemous thing to have done to a beautiful mod27. But back in 1976 it was my first handgun, and not knowing better at age 21 I paid a smith to install that orange colored piece of toothbrush plastic. (a very common procedure in the day) My question is can that sight be changed back as close as possible to the original stock condition without it looking worse then if I just left it alone as it is? I figure the gun will never be in its original condition for collector's value either way, as the damage has already been done. But it would be for my own satisfaction if I can get rid of the ugly orange piece of toothbrush plastic. I just don't want the repair looking like still another kind of botch-up of just a different kind. LOL I'm not sure what the procedure might be and how much damage to the metal or bluing the attempted repair might show. (I would send it in to be professionally repaired and not attempt it myself.)
