Welcome to the Forum,
There are several listed on eBay. You need to determine the proper length and the height of the sight blade to work with your revolvers barrel length.

Welcome to the forum. The sight blade height you will need is .146 probably with a white outline notch.If you find one with a different blade height the blade can be replaced.

Thanks 1.46. The issue I am having is the sellers on ebay have selling ones for 93 to present-I think I need a square front one and there is a question about the hole distance as well

Try Jack First Gun Parts. They had a rear sight for my 27-2, very hard to find. I bet they have one for your 29-2.
