Pin Dimension

Can anyone give me the diameter dimension of the small pin that holds the center toggle pin in place.

Thanks

1.495 to 1.500 mm according to the blueprints.

the tolerance to the 100 millionth/ inch might be a little overkill ;-)

Nope, that's no good. The Germans wanted it done in Metric, not inches. If they'd wanted to be Anglofied, they'd have adopted English standards. And the German Army would all be Cockney speakers.

No, it has to be an alternative to a Metric micrometer.

I do infact have a metric Micrometer.

Thanks for everyone's concern.

I just bought my first "real" Luger, a 1920 Commercial. I saw that mark on the left toggle in the photos (So far that's all I have) and thought it was a blemish, then saw some other Lugers from the same period that have this pin. When did they stop using it? My 1970's Mausers don't have it and I noticed other older models without it. What did they do instead? The pin in my Mauser appears to be much shorter than the pins in earlier versions, am I wrong? It appears that my 1970's Mauser has the axis pin staked, that is, conical openings opened up while in place with two conical punches from each side, is that correct? Thanks,

I only have a Metric dial vernier (6" Mitutoyo)...I need to get a 6" mic with removable spindles (or removable anvils) in 1" increments...Individual mics in 1" increments up to 6" are too expensive [for me]...
