Remarks :
Bought at Ebay for quite a lot of money. But it is one of the missing big loading tools of A. & R.
La Jumelle No. 1 is a medium large loading tool. La Jumelle No. 2 is a big loading machine for loading 50 cartridges at a time.
La Jumelle No. 1 is very similar to the American tool from Orlando Belcher. Without doubt is has been made according his patents.
