Default Rear sight Id on model 66-1

Recently purchased a S&W model 66-1 and have been having trouble finding the manufacturer of the rear sight. I’ve had several S&W revolvers and never have I seen such a rear sight.

Thanks, had never though of that. Now I just need some range time to make sure it is sighted in for me.
