Hi
In the years I got some different tools.Some are very probably original,some are sure fake.The original "cilindric knurled handle" ones should be made of brass copper plated and now they look like they were blackened with a brownish colour that's the old copper colour.I've also a brass one(repro)with the knurling bigger than the original ones,and an iron blackened one(also repro).The others are the one with the wood handle(it's the specimen on page 280 of Bender's book,and I took the photo showing the same position of the pic on the book,so the marks on the wood show to be the same) and two
other different patterns ones.They could be original or not.Quien sabe?
I can only say that the very little "proof" on the first at the right
looks like to be the same as on some Erfurt P08 little parts.
The four similar tools are (from the left) the iron one,the brass one,and the two copper plated (brass)ones.
I can only say that many advanced European collectors agree with me in my opinions about.
Hope this helps
