OK, here's one...So, this is 'normal'???

The tang is 10mm wide, extrapolating the size of the numbers gives me ~2.7mm height...
Yep, that is "normal". As to dimensions, it sounds about right but I am sure there are slight variations over time, and the depth of the strike can change the apparent height by significant fractions of a millimeter.
