Help with Loading Tool

sdmark777 · 03-15-2023, 07:46 PM

My knowledge of P08 loading tools is minimal. I ran across a loading tool I likely acquired in the 1980's. I would appreciate your opinions on originality vs repro. Also, any other info, ie commercial, early DWM etc. It is unmarked and I have not measured it. If measurements can help ID let me know. Any help appreciated, Mark

It´s a late DWM tool. Usualy DWM military tools have acceptance marks but according newest informations it is possible that military DWM tools came without acceptance marks during the Great War from 1915/16 on. During Weimar time came these types of Berlin Karlsruher Industriewerke made tools in the white.

On the pics is the left tool early DWM (commercial or military until 1910), the right is a late DWM tool.
