Mauser (Mauser-Werke AG)

History 

Mauser was one of the oldest and internationally best-known German weapon manufacturers , in particular of military and civil handguns .After the First World War, the Mauser werke were no longer allowed to produce military weapons under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles . From 1934, Mauser was also integrated into the (at first secret) upgrade of the Wehrmacht . Now again military weapons were produced, namely the carbine 98k, which was adopted in 1935 as a German ordnance . Since the production should initially be unnoticed by the Allies.During the Second World War, more than 5,000 forced laborers were employed to maintain production. 

Mauser was from 1920 also developer and manufacturer of various measuring tools such as micrometers or calipers . These measuring tools were also produced for the US market under the name Scherr-Tumico , for example . Mauser filed over 200 patents for hand tools and measuring tools between 1922 and 1996 , including several patents for "adjustable wrenches ".
