10/23/23 - This is an original, rare Luger Drum Magazine Unloading Tool. These tools are scarce, with this example being a police arsenal modified production. This is indicated by the small hole near the base of the arm, which is from when this device was a loading tool. The Prussian Police were authorized to manufacture unloading tools from speed loading tools that were broken or defective. The unloading device handle measures about 18.5cm long (18cm from the screw). The arm is attached to the base which fits over a snail drum magazine. The base is Imperial proof stamped and "B/N" stamped by Bing. Nice original finish throughout, with light surface patina and normal signs of aging wear, but no rust or pitting.
