Loading tool prices??

Shearwater6 · 02-23-2013, 10:06 PM

Just picked up a loading tool off eBay, WW1, crown marked for $56.
Can anyone tell me what would the difference be between my one and one that has an asking price of over say $200.
Assuming mine is not a fake??!!

Original one are going for approx $175 to $200.

So you think mines a fake? Will post a pic as soon as work out how to do it

Well, sometimes you get lucky and things are sold way under their market value.

Last year I bought a very nice, all original Imperial military C96 for about $700. Just because nobody else bid on it. It happens.

Actually, my wife is VERY good about be buying stuff so a Luger Tool is not a big deal. Since we've been married, she's let me buy a 1943 Kübelwagen, a 1944 Schwimmwagen, a 1939 BMW R66 with sidecar, a 1939 Mercedes 170V staff car, countless German uniforms, helmets and pieces of field gear. That doesn't even scratch the surface when we start talking about guns....MP40, MP43, MP44, MG42, MG34, G43, P38's, Lugers. PP's, PPK's, HSc's, Broomhandles, dozens of K98's......and that's just some of the German stuff.....

Wow - I'm impressed indeed. I'd love to have one - or a 170D. And a KübelWagen too!

Am believing I got lucky! Will see when it turns up....that C96 is A beauty!

I have noticed lately that WW1 Luger loading tools have reached some high prices..I can't explain this one for instance but it's not the only one..

And here is a link to your $56 tool

Shearwater6 · 02-26-2013, 01:22 AM

Yep that's the one!....... Look authentic????

klaus 3338 · 02-26-2013, 03:25 AM

It is authentic- it is the most often seen Imperial tool.
Some Imperial tools seem to be so rare that one can find 50 Krieghoff tools before one can find a C/N or C/G with the 4 lobe crown.

Thanks! My luger rig is complete

Shearwater6 · 03-05-2013, 07:14 PM

Loading tool arrived today and was shocked at how small these things actually are. Suppose should have been expecting this due the size of the pouch in my holster but still a suprise. Still amazed these little things go for we'll over $300!!

kubel · 03-07-2013, 09:10 PM

Yes, I just received one the other day in the mail and my wife said, "You paid what for that little thing?!?"

What was your answer ?

alanint · 03-08-2013, 05:54 AM

"It's bigger than you diamond ring, which cost more".....

kubel · 03-08-2013, 10:51 AM

Luckily, her reply was in jest. I collect all kinds of WWII German stuff so she's used to me bringing home things that seem trivial for the money.
