The K3+ is supposed to be very close to Karl Leister's facing as measured by David Hite circa 1985. That's about all I know.

Herbert Wurlitzer K4
0.85mm!!!!
38 - 22.5 - 8.5 - 1

(i measured two of the K4 mouthpieces several times, my measuring kit has proven fairly accurate in the past when readings are compared with those of US mouthpiece artists)

this facing is unlike any Boehm/French mouthpiece i've ever seen or measured. The baffle is almost completely flat.

hope this was helpful
