Is this front sight kosher?

I have a question regarding this type of front sight.

I assume it's called "bead front sight" (?).... If that's correct, "Mauser Archive" (Speed, 2007) has numerous places saying "special order of .... with bead front sight". So, at least some Mauser made pistols had factory-installed bead front sights.

I have never owned such an instance and have always avoided them on the market. But, could some of them be factory work, Mauser/DWM? Or, chance = 0 ? His book was about Mauser, could DWM have similar thing.....

Any thought, comments? Thanks.

Or, there are some factory ones, but this particular one is aftermarket. In that case, how do we tell?
