Luger tool opinion

Dave Sanders · 10-18-2020, 12:39 AM

Can you tell from these pictures if this loading tool looks original or not? It seems pretty rough and I have only seen smooth finish ones. Does the crown (?) look ok? Any opinions I would much appreciate. What does a common WWI loading tool go for now days, + or - $100? Thanks in advance.

I don't like it. I have paid $100 dollars for an Erfurt tool with a pretty rare proof mark and that was in far better shape from a reutable seller.

Yes, and No- the quality of the tool itself is junk and thus the mark must be counterfeit.
JMHO.

Thank you for the replies. I just didn't have a good feeling about it when I saw it. Not the quality of others I have. I don't see enough to know for sure if some were made like that. I appreciate the help.

Being from German heritage I just have to agree with all those who say FAKE.
My God it looks like they tried to add the backside grooves with a cutting wheel.
