Just as a matter of comparison I have .22/32 HFT's listed in my database in 1911 with Sheard copper bead front sights and the first Patridge with gold bead appears in 1912. The last entry that I show with a Gold Bead front sight is in 1931.

I own an early Outdoorsmen's with a gold bead front sight that shipped in 1931 IIRC.
