East German 9mm Makarov pistol chamber gauge. What does it measure?

What does this gauge actually tell you about your Makarov? Does it determine throat wear or is it for the chamber? How is it used? Just curious. I have a good selection of Makarov's and was interested in checking the barrels.

My best guess, it's head space gauge or for measuring a chamber after a barrel replacement and for use after sizing.
