Real vs. Repro Loading Tools

[drewas]

Thanks for the info, Lugerdoc. It has been fun learning about this WWII relic and members of this forum have been a great resource.

The magazine in question was in the spare mag pouch of the 1916 holster which contained a 1913 DWM, 17th Ulanden. This rig is in exactly the condition it was when my father-in-law disarmed a Tiger commander in Belgium in 1944. I intend to keep everything as is, but it is interesting to learn about the various components. It didn't contain a loading tool (There are some cotton patches held by the snap that should hold the tool.), so I thought it would be nice to replace that, but it has to be an original.

The magazine that is loaded into the pistol is the wood-capped type with matching serial number.

Can I write to you directly about getting a loading tool? Can you accept PayPal?

Thanks.

Doc
