I have a 1940 "42" with Holster.

There is a compartment in the Holster which contains a tool of some kind.

I thought it was an aid to loading the magazine ( It works for that, slipping over the Mag riser button and enabling a good purchase for your thumb in compressing the spring > though I could never figure out why that would be necessary, the Mag is easy to load)

Besides, the hole for the button and a ledge for your thumb, it has a single medium sized screwdriver blade (or pry bar?).

Is this the "Takedown tool I hear about?

If not what is the "takedown tool"

My tool; has NO markings and is nicely blued.

How can I tell if this is original?
