Default LPA style rear sight for a 14-1 and/or 627-0

This week I managed to auction a 14-1 (four screw and 6" barrel) and a 627-0 (Model of 1989 with 5,5" barrel). Can't wait to receive these two.
I plan to use one for casual bullseye shooting here in Austria and the other as safe queen, still can't decide which of them will stay in the safe altough common sense points towards the 14-1. I think it depends on which "shoots best" for me.

What I really want to change is the rear sight. I'm very fond of something which is similar to the LPA. Problem with the older revolver without the 3 holes rear leaf I can't install a LPA.
Do you guys know of any possibilities/companies which sell the older style rear sight and are similar to LPA?

Cheers.

I believe that Bowen makes his Rough Country sight with a square tang, undrilled, for use on the older Smiths. You will have to drill the sight and drill & tap the frame - not to mention that Bowen always seems to be out of stock. Not sure of the legality of exporting small arms sights. Good luck in your quest.

Adios,

Pizza Bob
