I don't think you are. 
The only known sight type I have heard of that looks that crude is the Humphrey's made in Vancouver before WWI: the same hand-stamped markings.
Could even be a one-off, with a screw from something else re-used?

Well know it's sold(no, I didn't get it, tried but the computer chucked a fit and missed it) I will tell you that it was very rare.
It is John Mues first patented sight No.13311/08, rarer than his original 1910 model, as a matter of fact there are more of his pre patent sights around than this one.
Good luck to the happy purchaser, I hope he knows what he has.
