We don't often see Neidhart guns posted. In fact, I think yours is the first. It's a wonderful rendition. Initially, I would have gone along with the lock panel statement of them being a bit thick, but after looking at the disc, I think you got them just about right. Neidhart did things a little differently than the rest of the Central Lehigh County builders that are better known.
That nuance of the double radius wrist so typical of Rupp and Moll is just a hint of it with a Neidhart. Most folks tend to overdo it. You didn't.
I agree with your decision to leave the sights a bit on the high side. I've built a couple with close to original height sights and they're darn near invisible.
If there was one thing I would pick on just a little is that it seems the front (and top) radius of the lock panel sweeps looks a little bit on the sharp side, but that could be the camera lighting too
