bnz 40 Loading Tool

Croc9 · 02-24-2020, 04:57 PM

My brother picked up a 40 dated holster for his BYF 40 at SOS. Inside was a tool marked bnz 40. We have found no one with information. Obviously made by Steyr. I don’t believe it to be a repro. If someone would fake one, they would do better by stamping with a 655,etc. Any help would appreciated. Steve

It's bogus.

bnz was Steyr-Daimler, not Sauer, and neither had anything to do with Luger production. It’s not even a legit tool with a fake stamp. Stamp is fake, shape is all wrong...it’s a fake/repro all the way around.

Thanks, guys. Auto correct changed the manufacturer. Luckily, it’s not mine. Plus, there was no extra charge. George, I have all the confidence in those that we have bought from you. Steve
