What the call-out means

`M`	ISO metric
`12`	Major diameter, mm
`× 1.5`	Pitch, mm. Given because it is a fine pitch
`-6g`	Bolt tolerance class (usual)
`-6H`	Nut tolerance class (usual)

Measure it

Bolt: Measure across the crests of the bolt with the caliper jaws. Worn bolts read 0.1 to 0.3 under.

Nut or tapped hole: Measure across the tops of the threads inside the nut or hole with the inside jaws. That is the minor Ø. Worn or oversize holes read a little over.
