OMG!!!...Am I wrong???

I have noticed differences in artillery rear sights, and am opening a thread in the Artillery Luger forum to question these differences.

Edit: OK, I'm told that Patrice in the other thread has the correct answer -

Check the teeth on the blade and see if any are missing.

I don't know if there is a 'fix' for this problem (restoring the correct placement of parts & restoring the teeth) but I'm interested enough to check it out...
