Default WTB .126" plain rear sight for 5" 5-screw pre-27

I have a 5" 5-screw pre-27 with a damaged plain rear sight blade and I need the replacement blade and hardware. Knowledgeable folks here advised me that asking here instead of going to Midway or Brownells could net me higher-quality parts compared to the new stuff (along with them being period-correct parts, such as the correct flatter-faced windage screw)

So there you have it, I need a period-correct rear sight blade and hardware, and would prefer it to a new one.

The leaf part is fine, I just need the rear blade, correct flat-faced screw, (most important part), and the spring and ball-detent. I question if the forum's wisdom is correct on the rear blade, because is the quality of a stamped piece of steel REALLY less than the old one? Really? But the screw has visual differences, so that's important.
