Walther Brass Tags

Hi Guys,

That seems to be the general consensus, that these are tool room exchange tags. Whether or not these were actually in the Walther factory is a little harder to prove (or dis-prove for that matter). We still are not sure exactly why the WaA359 is stamped on there if they were at Walther. But perhaps to prevent counterfeiting, or as a controlled item, or an actual inspection tag on parts bins, may be possible? Of course the other possibility is they were done post war. Thanks for all information, opinions, and discussion on these!

Regards.
Ron

P.S. Did you guys see the similar type tag that "amason" posted over on Jan Still's forum? Here is the link:
