I recently purchased a Model 8 from 1912 and the rear sight is a broken Marbles leaf sight. Does anyone know the correct model sight I need to purchase and where I can find one?

Find ?? No.
Marbles folding aftermarket sight for the Model 8, hang on to the screws they are hard to find & pay for too.

They come up for sale. This one is claimed to be original but is a flat top so I don't think it is. It's missing it's elevator but you could use a replacement.
Remington would put nearly any sight you wanted on a rifle back then. Your broken one was a No. 95.
