Unit Marked Imperial Loading Tool

Pete Ebbink · 08-20-2002, 08:24 PM

Hello Bill,

With the post a week or so ago about some guy that roams the gun shows trying to sell "custom" stamps, how can one easily tell if a marked take-down tool is real or just a recent-day fabrication ?

I am beginning to suspect that lots of stamped take-down tools are tossed in a rock-polishing, tumbling machine with some abrasives to "add" an aged look to the tool...
