The Bern tooling was returned to Switzerland a few years ago.
It is now at a Swiss military museum.

Mauser bought it in the late 1960s, dumped it as scrap metal around 2000. It was saved by a former Mauser engineer and rediscovered and subsequently sold to a Belgian collector, then finally sold back to Switzerland.

Some jigs and gauges of the incomplete second set were sold to other collectors.
