Question about P-08 cleaning rod authenticity

Welcome aboard and sorry,

This is a fake. The German Eagle stamp that is on it was available from Sarco and Gun Parts Corporation for awhile, until collectors complained that it was showing up all over the place.

Here is a link to what a real one should look like. The rod goes clean through the handle and the handles should swivel to allow the rod to follow the barrel grooves.
