Thank you Gerben to highlight this point that for me was evident but it could be not.
You are totally right, there is no evidence that the caliper on ebay was used by Mauser Waffen division itself or by an armourer, it is only possible to state that has been made by Mauser.
In fact in Oberndorf was also located the Mauser-Messzeug division that was in charge to build measuring-tool and it utilized the same Mauser banner like others divisions of the big Mauser company.
These kinds of tools have a really elevated quality. I have some of these really nice tools.

Some of these tools were also used by the Mauser Firearm Division as well as by armourers but, I repeat, it is wrong to establish a direct relationship between these tools and the Mauser Firearm division without providing evidences.

I guess that this is an important clarification to avoid wrong description like the one the seller of this caliper wrote.

Cheers,
Mauro
