Hello! Thanks for your comments. Yes, there are differences in the rim shape and also on the upper part of the gauges: some are flat, some hollow. I can't explain that: maybe these sets have been put together with gauges taken at random in some armourers box where there were pieces with some light differences in manufacture...Yes, if not for the different marks P08 or P38 they are identical: one no-go (G = Grosse = Large), one go (N=Normal). No, they are not double WaA marked: WH stands for Wehrmacht (Army). And btw on all Nazi gauges I have seen the WaffenAmt was engraved, not stamped. I have seen some of these headspace gauges, original (not in good condition:some rust and wear) and they were identical to those pictured above. And were a good source to reproduce them indeed. My problem is that mine look just too new and immaculate to be over 60 years old. Thanks for your help.
