I'll bow to Mike's superior knowledge

Response to It's got the ball detent breech lockup.

But I'm guessing that front sight is not original. Your 27 seems to be somewhat of an enigma. That particular rear sight SHOULD be matched with a cross-dovetailed simple front post. I don't understand the longitudinal dovetails, combined with what appears to be mounting holes for a screw-on front ramp. Is the hole under the front sight threaded? Like I said, I've seen that particular front sight before, and it was on a fairly late model 24 and 35. Your stock profile is similar to an early 80s 27 I used to have, but it had the red rubber "butt-pimple" and no finger grooves. The '59 version I got from Mike has a much more slab-sided butt, and the finger grooves, and mine has a wedge detent and an alloy trigger with two adjustment screws accessible from beneath.

Interesting gun. Tell us more.

I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
