They are used but used very little or with great care.

Looks nice. Is it Etalon brand?
Devlieg is the brand. As for why the set is like this, I have no clue. I note no differences in the micrometers other than the red banding. The standards are duplicates, I had intended to sell half the set but I am not sure its worth bothering with.
One of the reasons that i got them was i sent my micrometers to a lab (it was free, about the only way i could see me doing it) after i had checked them with gage blocks. A couple were .001 or 3 off but I was told they were good to go. Now these standards lead me to believe that they were not even checked. Oh well, what do you expect for free?
