P.08 Front sight gauge.

[Hessian]

I have always found Waffenmeister tools and gauges very interesting and worthy of collecting, I have paid dearly for my interest in them. In this thread you will find a front sight gauge to determine height. It’s very interesting to apply to a group of P.08’s and notice the difference in height that some have.

The gauge is marked with a scale of 11,29 to 10,69 and is WAa 42 with a company logo of a “WS.” The references I have suggest that it was a “Polte” manufactured gauge but if so why the “WS.”

Perhaps others may have suggestions as to the manufacture.

Should there be interest in these gauges and tools I will post others.
