Colt 1903 Pocket Auto question?

A couple years ago I was given a Colt 1903 Pocket Auto in 32 ACP that had belonged to my grandmother. The gun was missing it's front sight but otherwise is in great shape. My local gunsmith was able to fabricate a replacement but the sight is too tall. Could one of you folks that has one of these critters measure the height of your front sight for me? I need to do a little judicious filing.

I have a 1903 in 38 Auto, it's for sale one the auction side.
The front sight is right at 1/8" tall, if that is any help.

W.D., I saw your 380 on the auction side. Mine is the hammerless model and from the pictures I've seen those with a hammer (like yours) appear to have a taller sight. That's a nice lookin' little Colt ya got there, though! Hope you do well with it!
Here's a pic of mine...
