I know that the rear sight will fit on a small frame Dan, but I'm not sure about the large frame. I did replace the rear sight on my 715 with one.

They also work on later model 44s because they used the same rear sight as small frame guns. I do not have a 41 so I cannot speak for them.

Anyone know of a rear sight that will fit a lower serial number Monson 44? Apparently the Millett DW00003 and DW00004 part numbers are what I'm after, but about like finding a juicy dinosaur steak these days. Any other options?

I have a Series 100 Millet for Dan Wesson, but it definitely fits small frame and later large frames. 

In order to be sure, you could measure the distance between the retaining pin hole and the vertical adjusting/retaining screw hole. That would nail down which one you need.

I'm not aware of another option for the earlier (longer) rear sight for the large frame.
