Default Finally Found a .38 Perfected Target - Almost

I guess I'm a belt and suspenders kind of guy. I've wanted a .38 Perfected for a while, but never found the one that I wanted and could afford. I just found this one. Not factory, but well done. Matching frame, barrel and latch. Front sight reshaped and square notch fitted into latch.

Very nice Perfected and nice rear sight too, looks like a job well done.

How does it work? Does it have an adjusting screw or it just slides in?

Seems to be something interesting to replicate with an spare latch.

Neat work.
I have seen pictures of blades set into the top strap of Hand Ejectors but not in the latch of a topbreak.

Rear sight is certainly different, I like it. If you take it to the range give us a report. I would be interested in how close sights are to point of aim.
