Good morning all
I would like the forums opinion on this loading tool that I recently
received from a E-bay auction. The seller had stated it was S/42G stamped on the front and had the serial no.3753 stamped on the back.
After a good cleaning, the lightly struck S/92 acceptance stamp was also revealed on the front.
Thanks in advance.

A similar S/42G/S-92 tool is shown on page 122 and 170 of Third Reich Lugers. That one on page 170 also has a number 1769 stamped on it. I have seen matched police rigs with the Lugers serial number stamped on the tool and holster. Most likely your tool was stamped by a police armory to match a police Luger.

Hi Jan
I apologize for the late thank you to your reply. I have been away from home the past few days.
I have your 1988 copyrighted edition of Third Reich Lugers and the price guide.In the price guide on page three the availability is listed as a 10 (harder to aquire)and with a price range from $70-$100 for excelent to mint condition.Are these prices about the same today or has inflation caused the prices to rise a bit on these also.
Thanks again.
Ed

The price of Luget tools is erratic. Some have been faked. I have not followed the price in the last 10 years. I am sure that someone who has followed the price over the last several years would be of more help.
