This is the height of the front sight, in Europe this was done on many guns. 0 means no need for adjustment at the test firing distance (usually 25 meters for a pistol), then there will be - and + marked front sights to compensate. I have a ton of differently marked Krag-Jørgensen M/1912 carbine front sights if anybody should need one.
