Your converting a pre war frame (I presume the barrel sight) to a fixed sight configuration. Using a post war barrel?
Both the sight base and the blade were pinned in place and polished flush on earlier models.
Pre war fixed sights were forged integral with the barrel. Target sights were made at the factory by milling off the round fixed sight blade, and milling the sight base with a slot (mortise) for a target blade that was then pinned in place.
