P08 gauges: true or not ?

Dearest Wlim,
the WaA42 you refer to is NOT on the bottom (no rim, you see?), but on the TOP of the gauge marked 8,88 (mm. we would suppose?...) which is a bore wear gauge and not a headspace gauge like other ones. And this gauge bears only this WaA on its top. And, yes, my German was not that good: G stands for Grosster (umlaut on "o"), and N stands for Normaler. Neither "Gut" nor "Nicht Gut". Sorry...
Put apart "your book" and get a look at page 115 of Bender's one: you will find there early DWM drawings dated May 19, 1920 with all the gauges we are speaking about (and more...) with correct captions...
