Pix #5. Any thought? The quality is low, but I have never seen a real Simson tool, no idea.

I have looked at this on Jan Still's forum earlier, but did not comment (too busy).

I don't think I like this one, but would like some more pictures and also compare it with the two that I have, and also the section in Simson Lugers with the blown up pictures. The eagle 6 looks good to me, but the rest of the tool looks a bit off?

Hi Ed and all, the reason the tool looks strange is that is was flipped when bent and machined... the other side would be the coined, or blanked side top, normally, prior to forming... most are machined the other way then this tool shows, but there are plenty of both when the worker gets careless... :jumper: best to all, til..lat'r...GT

This tool came up for discussion among serious tool collectors some time ago. It is a complete fake.
