Ron I understand that phillips screws predate WW2, but name one other German firearm produced during that period that used Phillips Screws...? I can't think of a single one. In my recollection, phillips screws starting showing up on the less expensive brands of American firearms about 1964 and later... brands like H&R, Plainfield, Savage, etc. Before 1964, most firearms were put together like a fine watch... The master gunsmith that trained me in the late 60's and early '70s (John Dusing-Waynesboro, PA)would bite off the end of his cigar when he opened a new box of something he had ordered out of a catalog if he found that it had phillips screws in it...
