Colt 1903 .32ACP Front Sight - Help

[Bushcrafts]

Hi guys, A friend of mine is looking for help locating a front sight for his Colt 1903 .32cal pistol.
Any help is appreciated, we live in Medway/Franklin area.

Finding an original might be hard. You can buy a complete slide for $100 here. I'm not sure if it includes the sight or not. If you just want any ol' sight on it, I'd take it to a reputable gunsmith (Santuri) and I'm sure he'll figure something out for you.

You might think about sending it back to Colt. I had two Officer's Models with front sight issues. Fell off one and was loose on the other. Colt replaced them both no charge.

Here is a schematic:

I looked at my 1903s and it looks like just a inverted "V" notch. I don't know of anyone selling just the sight but a smith could make one up.
