Just from appearances of the ramp Pete, I would venture that they are silversoldered on... This would be compatible with the rust-blue methods of the time, but would not work using the hot salt blue methods as the solution would eat the silver solder...

Attaching a sight this way instead of indexing a machine operation while the barrel is being made makes alignment very critical during the soldering process...
