what are these
What are these? The head stamps are as follows "Heer" "41" "S*" "aux". They are solid, chromed with holes drilled in the case above the head of the case and through the bullet.

XL,
Right on the money they are armour's test guages.
The interesting story behind them is my Step Father's uncle, a GI found these in am armory in Germany at the end of the war. He shippend 5 98K's, a luger and p-38 in holters back to the states. I received the P-38 (but it is in a Luger holster) and the last remaining 98k.

Re: what are these
Not a gauge, though. A gauge is used to check dimensions; these check function.
