New Made Item: New made exact replica of this exceptionally rare WW1 hand held Lewis drum magazine loader. These were produced years ago, and unfortunately all will show chipped paint and other cosmetic issues to to long storage.
Intended for use with .303 cal ammunition, loose or in stripper clips, these quickly became a lifesaver with the increased speed provided to load both 47 and 97 round .303 caliber drum magazines.
See “The Belgian Rattlesnake” by Easterly page 464 for reference.
Magazine not included but is available separately.
