Post #12 had this:
"Herter's was sold to an investment company from Mitchell South Dakota. The CEO of that company is now the CEO of Cabela's. Reason for sale; George was getting along in years and his son did not want the company.
Herter's had three spin off companies based in Glenwood Mn. The first was Luger American, followed by Ruhr American and then by Krupp American. Generally these companies sold Herter's reloading equipment with some changes. They were painted green. Luger American tools are marked as such. The other two may, or may not, be marked."

Thanks much for that info. Seems to have solved the problem on a $25.00 investment..
Now to figure out a shell holder, holder for it.

I had a couple of those Herter's "Boat Anchors" years ago that I got from estate sales. Sure were heavy and a bit ugly, but they worked. The shell holders are hard to find if I recall. Seems to me someone was making adapters to use standard shell holders? That Luger may have been used by Juaqe Pierre himself to reload
