P08 tool - This one is a reproduction, where to find genuine?

byf43 · 11-26-2005, 07:51 AM

Where can one find a genuine tool like this reproduction here: http://www.ima-usa.com//product_info...roducts_id/228

What price range should one expect for a genuine one? Especially I'm looking for an Eagle over 135 marked specimen.

How can I tell a reproduction from an original? What are the tell tale signs?

There is written about the differences between original and reproduction before in this forum, you might find something if you click "search" (upper right corner).
To find an original, perhaps ebay.com? ..or in europe QXL? There is also some links listed up in this forum that might be usefull

I found this online not a 135 but at least original.

Seems like the link I added for ebay did not work.....sorry about that. Go to ebay and type in under advanced search Luger loading tool. A 135 will come up. BUT the auction is over on the 24 Dec. and the price is already over a $100.00. Good luck!

Under the FAQ in the section New Collectors is an area called Loading Tools; essentially (but go there and read the info

) it stated that anything under 3mm is a good start. I have bought about 16 tools, three I am sure were / are suspect. I have slowly gotten away from fake or reproduction items, no repop tools, no repop holsters, it just seems the wrong road to go on...

Merry Christmas!
