Hello,
some days ago a friend found the following tools on a german scrap yard and sent it as a present to me because he knows that I always could need it in my small workshop. All things were in very dirty and rusty condition. During cleaning I noticed that all tools have imperial meassurements and I wondered if I still can need it. When I started to clean the micrometer I noticed that it is from the year 1944 and it has a broad arrow stamped. After that I also noticed the broad arrows on most of the reamers and some drills and even on the small metal box. Does this indicate military use?
Anyone knows what "Wire Morse No. 33" means?
Interestingly all tools are made in Sheffield by different factorys - Sheffield the british tool makers city?
I hope this stuff is of interest for someone here even if the relation to ordnance is very small
Some pictures: (there were also a lot of small drills which I didn't take pictures from)
