I have seen on Ebay a strange MG42's spider sight for anti aircraft that is different from common MG34/42 AA sights. It has one concentric circle less and it was sold in auction at 120 euro (approximately 162 USD) - location Germany. Do you think it's original WW2? Why it's different?
Here the picture:

But it's correct the first AA sight with one circle less?
And if yes, why one circle less? What version is it?

No, the spider sight should have two inner circles. The one in the auction is missing one and is a reproduction. DO NOT buy it. Locate another one.
