Default M41 Rear Sight Attachment

So what holds the rear sight on the Model 41? Mine is loose and easily slides off. The screw on the top is for elevation adjustment. I don't see a pin anywhere. Any help is appreciated.

Update on fix. Maybe this will help others with the problem. I removed the large elevation adjustment screw on the top. The top of the sight folded back, revealing two tiny screw holes. Tightening these screws did the trick.
