Eugen,

I do not pretend to be an expert on tools but the proof in your pictures was used on early K-dates. Up to SN 3000 or so.

If authentic it is a rare tool. The problem with early Mauser era tools is that the early tools were parts carried over from DWM and had DWM characteristics. The shape and finish were changed when Mauser started making the tools themselves. Some of the early tools were issued in the white which further complicates the issue.

Lots of replicas have been seen.
