They were used at the German Factories as "gauges" to check parts/assemblies as they were manufactured.
Kind of like "Quality-Control".

First picture: Extractor claw gauge to check the minimum and maximum space allowed under the lip of the extractor.

Second picture: I don't know.

Third picture: Looks like a rear sight gauge for the rear sight notch.

Value: Since they are rarely for sale, there's no way to tell their value, as it would vary widely between sales.

I'm a Waffenemister tool and gauge collector, if you are still interested in finding out about these gauges let me know. "Some" are factory gauges and others are waffenmeister issued gauges, some are also lately faked.
