I have a 1917 DWM Artillery with matching stock and 1917 holster, the loading tool is unmarked- is this normal?

A loading tool for a 1917 dated DWM should have a C/S.
All Military DWM Luger came with a loading which have had one of the acceptance marks of the receiver |

Loading tools are like holsters, "they" used what ever was available.
What Klaus said was wartime DWM pistols were Issued with a corresponding marked tool. We all know how easy it is to lose something that small.
