Ron,
The 359 waffenamt is specific to Walther. Factory workers were assigned these tags with their assigned number, to exchange for secured tools and equipment. When they would check out a tool. The tag would be exchanged for that tool. A control and accountability system so that the person in charge of the tool room would know who had that tool. The tag would be placed on a hook, a peg or in the space where the item was kept.
