You appear to have 1898 sights modified to the standard of 1902. The one with the peep is the later variety of the two. Neither is original to your 1900 dated rifle. Just buy a new sight, either 1898 or 1902. It's easier. Or just buy the whole slide and eyepiece. They're available. Fixing these sight is hard, though not impossible.
