Nice gauge, I've always wanted to add one to my collection.

I have these versions for rifles and machine guns.

G-2 Nice looking trio I don't know how scarce these ww2 and earlier gauges are but I know I have not seen any others lately.

JONABI Thanks for the interest and the very interesting information

Thanks for the complement. These gauges are rare and I'm sure the survival rate is low. Mine were bought at the same time from the picker that got them from the vet.

I've attached a pic from The Backbone of the Wehrmacht that shows the armorers tool kit for K98 rifles.

Bottom row, firing pin and head space gauges. not sure about the rest.
A real set of dreams, not mine just a pic
