It's possible the cylinder/barrel have been removed in past, replaced or re finished as the oil has got into threads & removed bluing

This might help about the rear sights

Hi Lee5159, thank you for the links!
I agree, the standard rear sight gives a much better field of view, which is nice in my garden shooting situation.
I thought the peepsight would be easier on my eyes, but if I take enough time between shots, and focus on my breathing, my eyes cope fine with the standard opens.
