P.08 Front sight gauge.

Hessian · 09-07-2009, 10:41 PM

I was just looking at a VERY rare 7.92 "Kurtz" headspace gauge and it is also WAa42 and a Erma logo mark. Yet looking at a set of the same type gauges (as posted for the P.08) but for a K98 I see a WAa42 BUT with another type of logo.

Could Erma have been one of the locations of final waffenampt approval for other makers of these gauges? Or is Erma just another maker who sent gauges to "WAa42."

Who is WAa42...

Js, Yes I will get the diameter for you.
