I 'Google searched' the patent number cited in the Pacific Catalog #8 (1934).
It appears the inventor of the Pacific 'No-Drill' rear sight was Mr. Walter Joseph Sutton.
The 'proto-type/patent drawing' version shows a 'tubular' main body. This obviously was changed to machined 'flat' surfaces, when actually manufactured.
Attached are the pages from the approved (1931) patent. It was applied for in 1928. Sketches show crude renderings of 1903 Springfield (Fig.#1) and Krag (Fig.#4) actions.
