Mauser Schlagstempel WaA 135
Hello Guys,
I have just received from Germany a couple of Mauser Schlagstempel WaA 135. Mauser used different Waffenamt marks: WaA 63, WaA 655 in 1937 and in 1942 it was renumbered WaA 135, remaining so until the end of WWII. One shows the eagle with the WaA 135 (4m/m). The other one only the eagle (6m/m). They are nice add on for the Kleine Werkzeugkiste . Cheers, Mauro

Goodness!!!
Would the one with just the eagle be one that would have been used to mark the barrel, or would it have been smaller than this one?

Mauro, I'll bet you could rent out those stamps for a pretty penny! How about $50 a strike?

You are right guys. These kinds of marks in wrong hands can create some troubles.
I have no idea if the 9mm eagle has been used for the Parabellum. Actually I donĂ¢??t know the size of the mark used on the Parabellum. It seems a complete set. The eagle with WaA 135 was a acceptance mark the others one a proof mark. Cheers, Mauro
