Loading Tool ID question '41 Mauser?

Ridecontrol · 04-27-2004, 03:43 PM

My question is....is this genuine? and if so, should I assume it was only for '41 Mausers?

It has "byf" in two locations on the tool.
I think my photo catches both areas.

Thanks for any input....Ken

Sorry Ken,

But the byf41 marked tools are generally considered to be reproduction tools. I don't think I have never seen or heard of any genuine original tools marked that way.

Of course if it isn't too expensive ($15.00 or less) and it functions...some don't work real well, it saves you from using a genuine tool so you don't wear it's finish.

The byf tools are a recent creation of Americanishe Waffenfabrik.
