3/28/23 - This is an original WW1 Artillery Snail Drum Magazine speed loading device. The left side of the tube is Imperial proof stamped below the magazine release button. The push-button release is functional with smooth action. The loading lever is also functional and smooth, and is maker stamped with the AEG logo on the left side of the lever base. The finish is in great shape overall with some mild finish loss and surface patina from age, but no excessive wear. No rust or pitting.
