military headspace gages

military headspace gages have a drawing number for each gage, photo shows early gages

I noticed they are notched for ejector clearance so as not having to strip the bolt.. Are all USGI gauges mfg'd with the notch

No I have a lot of USGI Gages some are notched, some are not ! I can post pictures of both !

Your gauge is from Redford Reamers. I have the complete set bought in the 1960's. Their address was:
Redford Reamer Co.
P.O. Box 4863
Detroit 19, Michigan.

So I guess it is not a USGI?

Gages - Various makers

Based upon comments from others and the gages pictures I believe your gages are commercial. Billy Pyle in his Ord tools, and accessories, etc., book gives a good run down on the gages.. ...

Here are pics of both kinds and just a couple of different makers to mix it up a bit...

Illinois gage company, quick tool and gage company, SA, Globe instrument company, inc, and Walton gage company...
