Hamilton Model 027 .22 Rear Sight

I recently acquired a Hamilton Model 027 .22 rifle. I believe they called it a "boys rifle" back in the day. It is in decent shape except for the rear sight broken off. Is anyone familiar with these old .22 rifles and can provide recommendations on where I can obtain a rear sight?

If you take it to a gunsmith I am sure they could install a sight.I find nothing on a rifle or mfg named Hamilton.You would have to post a picture. sam.

Sam,
Thank you for your reply. I never heard of these either until I acquired it and started doing some research. These were made back in the early 1900's up until about 1945. They are small single-shot .22 and chambered for shorts and longs (not LR). Here is a website that provides some background on them: Hamilton Rifles
I have attached some pictures as well. I'm trying to search the web for a replacement rear sight but not having any luck. Thanks again for your reply.
