Hi Thomas, It's not an Imperial tool, it's the wrong shape.
Regards, Norm

Norm

The aceptance stamp Looks for like a Crown over gothic Letter?

What is your Opinion

Thank you thomas

Hi Thomas, Tools are frequently faked. Stamping a common tool with a rare mark is an easy way to make money. The first photo is of your tool, the second a Third Reich tool, and the last, a genuine Imperial tool. Compare the shapes.

Hard to see, but it looks like your tool has a ribbed thumb piece, which would make it DDR (East German) production, but 'pimped' with some Imperial looking markings.

I have a similar one over here.

Yep, someone in the DDR came across some old stamps in the rubble somewhere.

The knowledge on this forum is impressive. I suppose someone could write a book just on Luger loading tools (if they haven't already).

Our member Klaus already has a primer, which is pretty much all inclusive.

I tried to paste it here, but it is one nano over what the site allows you to attach. PM me an email and I'll send it to you direct over the weekend.
