Having the chance to complete my Tektronix current probes and accessories soon,
I will post my calibration attempts here.
I hope to find some interest in this forum.

Yea, I'd like to see what you are going to post, I have a few probes too, I seldom use them, but I have them if I need one.

The relatively old current probe Tektronix P6042.
This current probe allows currents from 1 mA/div to 1A/div (DC to 50 MHz) to be measured without disconnecting the circuit:
P1760076400x243

The Tektronix current probe P6303, up to a maximum of 100 A.
The maximum frequency, depending on current level, is 15 MHz:
IMG 3868400x300

with the control module AM503B:
AM503B400x692

The Tektronix current clamp CT5 for even higher currents up to 1000 A, but only AC, maximum frequency, depending on current level, is 20 MHz:

Picture follows.

If you mean to show these as examples of past measurement excellence so be it
but in this modern world, us real engineers will make a current transformer that slips over a TO220 lead out pin(or smaller) to measure the exact current wavefrom of a switching device to see what is going on.

Please, could you give me an example for such

"a current transformer that slips over a TO220 lead out pin".

Are these devices commercially available?
