Correct site adjustment tool for 1917 Artillery?

Neither are correct - they are reproductions. Normally a sight adjustment tool for a LP-08 would have a wooden handle for better gripping during cold temperatures while wearing gloves. The type I am showing hereunder would sometimes be found in an armourers kit, which also contained other tools for machine-guns, carbines and pistols.

A genuine sight adjustment tool is a difficult item to find and the value is about $300-$350. When examining a sight adjustment tool, play close attention to the two pins which must be perfect in shape.
