Missing Sight on 1861 Contract Rifle

I have an 1862 Lamson, Goodnow & Yale Co. Special Model 1861 Contract Musket with bayonet in very good condtion. All lettering is clear and only minor pitting on rear barrel surface. The rifle is missing a rear sight however. How much does this detract from it's value?
