I hate to bust your bubble, but that is not a genuine "bo-mar" sight on your 1911. That is an after-market copy of the famous rear sight. Genuine bo-mars rear sights have the name stamped on the side of the sight base. What you have is a bo-mar "style" rear sight.

Btw: Due to the untimely deaths of several members of the family, the company is no longer making their famous rear sight.

"ed brown products" makes the closest clone to the original bo-mar. Contact ed to see if you can get a replacement pin.
