Real vs. Repro Loading Tools

drewas · 12-31-2007, 04:25 PM

Thanks for the tips. I want to get an authentic loading tool to add to my all-original rig that includes a 1913 DWM and 1916 holster. Is there anything in particular that I should look for? Or avoid? For instance, I would think that an E63 stamp would be out of place.

Also, I have the original wood-capped magazine with the pistol, but also have a spare that is blued with an aluminm butt cap. Please see the photos included. Any opinions on the age and manfacture of this magazine. Would it have been issed as a spare with this pistol?

Thanks.
