Authentic WWI Loading Tool?

John,
There is an off-set lip inside the hole, I just couldn't get a clear picture of it. This is the only loading tool that I have--I've looked at reproductions at gun shows, and a couple of real ones, and this looks like the latter, except those were of WWII vintage.
The tool fits great on the magazine, with the off-set lip fitting right in behind the button. Other than some minor pitting on the screwdriver end, and some staining of the metal, it seems solid and in good shape.
