fla3006,
You will likely have to make,or modify,a screwdriver for these screws. My German gunsmith friends made all their own screwdrivers( in old days, this was part of their training).Also in "clocking" these screws, they filed or sawed the slots themselves.Therefore, their own screwdrivers fit their own screw slots.If filed, the slots were often "v" shaped and easy for ill fit blade to slip out of( they were careful), if sawed ,not so bad.

I make all my gun - screwdrivers myself:

use any quality screwdriver
choose a driver that fills the length of the screw slot
if too wide, file to fit
place driver horizontally in a vise
file the front of the blade (about 1/16th deep)square
turn the driver around and do the same on the other side
turn and file until desired thickness is achieved

if you know how to use a file (two-handed) this will take
5 minutes and give you a 'bespoke' driver for that screw
(I use a 3/4" wide flat file for better handling)

I agree with Gunter, unless the screws have a "V"slot.

Raimey,

nice to see how the stamps are placed:

Yeah, but that's a different time period when the majority of the marks were on the extractor. I don't recall if it occurred at the time of the 1939 rules change or earlier. I'll dig a bit & see.

Kind Regards,
