Mauser M.Z.B. tools

I've got a Mauser made caliper and micrometer. It's nice to have artifacts from Mauser's other lives.

They made a variety of products including cars, adding machines and other precision metal goods over the life of the company.

I've often wondered if a broad need for precision measurement tools motivated Mauser to design and make his own tools, and that those eventually became products.

If I remember correctly, some of the WW-II era Mauser measurement tools were military acceptance marked.
