Rear sight assembly. Pretty easy to find. Theres a couple on GB right now as well as Fleabay. Prepare to spend $85-125 depending on condition. Do your self a favor and make sure to ask the overall length and distance from the end to the screw hole. There are a couple different configuration and if youre luck is like mine you'll get one thats not the correct length. Here's my thread about the same topic from last year.

Bought one on eBay, seller listed hole to hole measurements and matched my 57 sooo should be correct, supposedly sight came off a 29-2 6” blade hight should be correct? Any tips on attaching? Thanks

Yup. The square rear end slides into the slot on the top of the frame just forward of the hammer. Press down on the forward part of the sight with your thumb while screwing in the tiny screw into the top of the frame with a proper size screwdriver.
