Field Armorer's Repair Kit
 

The excuse often provided for many mismatched Lugers is that it was a "field repair" or "armorer's replacement." Based on the number of times I've heard that I sort of thought there must have been an inordinately number of field armorers. Anyway, I found this German Army Field Armorer's repair kit for sale. Info says it was for M#34s, MG42s, K98s, and P08s.

Really nice!!!
Well done

I found it, didn't buy it. 1500 Euro price. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I changed the wording.

Hell of a price but first one I ever seen that looks complete.

An amazing find RK... lots of tools but what about spare parts? was that a separate kit?

I would love to know what the items in the compartment where the P.08 Firing Pin Guage and magazine tool are...

Various headspace gauges and dummy cartridges for checking extractors and function.

An outstanding, and seemingly complete, armorer tool kit. There was another armorer wooden chest (rather like a foot locker with removable drawers) that held parts.

I am not expert in the WWII tools and accessories. I am wondering it this kind of tools are presented in books or in some historical pictures.
Cheers,
Mauro

Guys,
I got it. Actually it is really nice to me. I have some other stuff from the same period (Mauser Firing Pin Gauge, Mauser sight adjusting tool, caliber gauges...) with which I can complete the kit more in the P08 perspective.
I will not receive it before three weeks. I will post a complete set of photos as soon as the kit is in my hands.

Concerning the price, it is the first time that I see a such complete kit therefore I do not have reference.

Many thanks to Roadkill that shares with us his discover.

Cheers,
Mauro

Congratulations! Glad to have been able to help.
