'Sergio' - Welcome to the KCA Forum!
The sight that you pictured appears to be a Redfield 102K, intended as a 'no-drill' Receiver-Sight, for the Left-Side of a U.S. Krag.
It looks like someone has simply screwed in the 'aperture' on the wrong side of the slide!
The bottom of the 'Slide' for the 102K has a small "k" stamped on it.
To mount on a Krag, the 102K sight requires a longer 'side-plate screw'.
Redfield originally provided such a screw with the sight.
Mounted on the rear of the sight is a little sheet-metal bracket that hooks into the cut-off lever opening.
A replacement side-plate screw can be fashioned from a Krag or 1903 Springfield 'sling-swivel or stacking-swivel' screw. Reproduction swivel screws are available. (Thread size is approximately .186"X26TPI).
