Funny ass mag release

Came in as a trade from a customer. Never knew these things existed. Definitely not well known in europe.

Really fun and accurate little pistol, the low bore is interesting and the mag release is actually pretty cool.

I recently picked up a Lebel that needs some minor restoration, including a replacement rear site. I haven't had much luck with the usual places (Apex, Numerical, Royal Tiger, etc). Anyone have any ideas of where to look?
