OK, I'm curious! HOW do you tell an original takedown tool from a repro??? I have both and there is NO difference!
Also what about the loader says "not original"? Again I have both and there is almost no difference. Unfortunately almost none of the original loaders were marked in any way and I've never heard of a tool with any markings.
I'll have to dig out my bag to see how it compares, I don't remember any markings, but will look.
I know my items are original because they came with an MP 44 50+ yrs ago.

Sarge, The original take down tools have a slight bend to them where as the reproductions are always straight. Same with the loaders, the originals have a slight bend to them. I have seen both and this holds true.
Without having them in hand and an original beside them it is sometimes very difficult to tell. Here is one picture of an original take down tool to show the bend I am speaking of. I will try and find a picture comparing the loaders and post that as well.

I read that the brush was kept in the mag pouch - not the butt stock.
Gents,
I am looking for an original magazine loader, I bought reproduction and it doesn't work. Any hints on where to purchase one would be appreciated. Also I have seen them go for as much as 180 euro's and as low as $40.00 US whats up with that? The last thing on my list is the bag!
Thanks,Dave
hello the chat is a bit old but I would like to show you a loader that was found in an ammo box, here it is written that they had no stamps, but I can see a jvd on mine, you too?So I think it's definitely original
