Amazon and other clock shops sell a set of two of these keys, and they cover every size I've ever run into (sometimes better than others, but I digress).


That set is part of my range gear, and is especially useful when I have a couple of Schützens with me. I leave all my original single keys at home.

Closer picture 
Any information on the system or possible maker is appreciated. Had hoped to get information at Etna Green but the car Gods got me.

System Stahl. Very nice!  The most popular system till the Aydt was introduced. 

The barrel looks extra long. 

Thanks for showing it.  Smiley

Hope your car gets better...  Tongue

How long is the barrel? The barrel in my Stahl is 30 7/8.

Might be your cup of tea, but many times at work we'd use key stock in place of the ratchet wrench welded into the square drive of a socket. Maybe measure the square part of the sights you wish to use a sight key and maybe there is a metric socket you could use. I had a couple metric drive sockets made up for my lathe and used key stock either brazed or welded on the key stock after it was bent 90 degrees. Just a suggestion. Frank

My German sight had three different sizes ( a repro for sure)   and I found this   at the Stuffmart

Oughtsix, 

That’s the exact kit that I purchased.
