K98 Cleaning Kit - Fake Take-Down Tool?

**SpartanX9** · 10-05-2023, 02:35 AM

Hello All! I am interested in getting a K98 Cleaning Kit for collection and recently came across this one on a dealer's site. Based on pictures/info in a reference book I have together with the MP44 reference site, I believe the Take-Down Tool and possibly cleaning fiber to be of post-war make. The shape around the "handle" area of the Take-Down Tool does not look quite right to me, with the "bezels" being too thick. However, I could be wrong and would like some more opinions on both the Take-Down Tool and the cleaning fiber. Thank you for any and all help!

This looks like a Luftwaffe version in blue. I'll have to dig my 2 examples up. I have a green Wehrmacht and a blue Luft example. They look very much like yours. I'm having trouble seeing your concern to be honest.

Hello Green,

Thanks for your reply, guess I was jut being overly cautious. Anything specific to look out for in terms of reproductions vs originals?
