Artillery fine adjustable sights tool
 

Gentlemen,


About fifteen years ago I purchased what was

described as an original adjustmnet tool for the Artillery Luger's fine adjustable sites. The tool is made out of

bronze (possibly brass). Is this what the real tools are made out of? I have long ago traded off the rig I bought this for, but still have the tool.

Mc,


The tools I have seen from Germany were made from a lightly heat treated steel and blued. I have never heard of a brass type.

Jan Still shows two different tools in IMPERIAL LUGERS, and the tool I have is the same as the tool on the right side of the photograph. It appears to be a chemically or age darkened bronze material with steel pins to fit the sight adjuster.

I have one - blued steel (EOM)

Tom Heller may be able to shed some light on these tools, but reproduction blued steel tools were being sold over twenty years ago. I am only aware of the bronze tools as being originals.

Some collectors also seem to think that the tool with the T-handle (show on the left side in the photograph in Still's Imperial Luger book) is a reproduction also.

I�´ve got a Mauser rear sight tool - polished, blued steel with a cross bar, stamped with the Mauser barrel. And a shorter one which I take to be Erfurt which is much smaller. Just a short barrel with the two prongs and serrated around the top.
