But w/ Geno astute observation, if anyone has a copy of No. 31, Fall 2006, German Gun Collector's Journal, on page 22 & 23 is a cased J. Sackreuter-M. Mach pinfire w/ accessories w/ handles. Is the tool old enough to be used w/ pinfire cartridges? Kind Regards, Raimey rse

It worked ok, but not fast enough for me and my company. Maybe with the new handle Chris volunteered to make it will be "quicker". I don't know the time period of this item, but it "seems" quite early. http://www.bakercollectors.com/

The wooden rod is sub-bore diameter (about 5/16") with a flared iron tip on the top end. I have always assumed the screw was a wad puller, as described by others.
