Help with window screens on old wood windows

I have a mid century ranch with what appear to be original wood windows. I want to put screens on. There appears to be some sort of fasteners at the top (painted over). I don't see anything at the bottom other than two small divets, maybe where the bottom fastener might go.

I would like to do a half screen, but am not sure if that is workable or attractive. Thoughts? I will post pictures of various close ups to give you a good idea.

If I am doing a full screen, how do I attach it? I am lost on all the different fastener choices. I would like the screen to be as snug as possible to keep bugs out.

Also, thinking of getting bettervue to keep the screens inconspicuous. Thoughts?

Thanks for any and all tips.
