I have a Colt Officer's Model Match, fifth issue 1959 made, needing a rear sight. Anyone have one or know where to find a replacement?

Have you tried contacting Numrich Gun Parts Corporation to see if they have one. Phone # (845) 679-2417. They will at times have gun parts that are not listed in their catalog if they only have a few of that item part.
Does it look like this one? Same as the Python I think.

The one listed at Kensight in above link is the same as my 1961 OMM and the spare that I have in my Colt parts bin. I got my spare used over on colt forum.com.
The original Colt sights can sometimes be found on Ebay.
Although not marked, that is known as the Accro sight and is the most common of Colts adjustable sight used since the early/mid fifties on Colts. I believe I have one that will work but it has the cut out for a woodsman.
And remember you can also install the Ellison sight which is considered an upgrade.
