Not sure of Bucks Co, but most likely smoothbore, so you really don't need a rear sight.  Not a target gun.  Like today, designed for self defense.  21 feet or less.

There is no rear sight on the original BC Verner pistol I recently presented.  But I installed one on mine, 'cause I need to be able to hit a mark out to 50+ meters.  The original pistol also had a very low barley corn front sight.  The breech tang screw is quite proud, and may have served as a rudimentary rear sight.
