HELP PLEASE! front sight ding repair

I recently received a Colt Detective Special through the USPS. The front sight suffered a nice ding while in transit. The rest of the gun is in excellent shape. How do I proceed with repair? I am wondering if the sharp edge can be rolled back into position with some careful peening, then some file work and re-coloring. The impact created a nice flat surface and rolled the sharp edge over. The damage is far enough forward that it is not in the sight picture, with the exception of the rolled edge.95% of the damage is on the matte finish part of the sight, not the high luster blue of the muzzle end. I know I can't make it disappear, I just want to make it less noticeable and clear up the sight picture.
