Default Fixed Night Sights

Greetings!

I've been around Smiths a long time, but this one is new to me.

I've a Horton batch M65-5 LadySmith, nice action and Magnaported. It has the usual fixed sight serrated front post and groove in the topstrap.

The unusual (to me at least) thing is that both the front sight ramp and each side of the rear notch have been drilled and a tritium tube installed. These are not add-ons...it looks exactly like the usual Trijicon tubes alone have been slipped into holes drilled in the frame. Sorry...pics not available.

The thing is...the tubes have dimmed over time.

Any idea who made these and how to get them replaced?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Spotteddog...that's what they look like.

Their website is a mess...so I'll give them a call tomorrow!

I figured someone here would be in the know.
