Another tool for the record

OK, here are two tools. The one on the right is (I hope!) authentic. Note, this fake is triple marked. According to Still, there were tools marked WaA63 marked (rather than SE/DE 63 marked)...but the story goes awry with this tool.

what were they thinking ( I will croak if someone tells me this is original!)

I guess they felt that the more marks the better, or they were experimenting...

Paul,

I'm fairly certain that the large eagle is a repro that was being sold through Numrich, Sarco, or another parts house some time ago. It turned up on some faked Mauser 98s on another forum that I had been visiting. I seem to remember a holster with that stamp on it also.

Looks like maybe someone doing some trial and error practice.

Ron, I agree. Someone is testing their phony dies on the cheapest piece of Nazi metal available --- a repro loading tool. TH
