Remarks:

I bought this tool from John Romans. He described this tool in his advertisement as follows:

24ga. case crimper
This is a 24 bore case crimper marked G&J.W Hawksley and 24 bore. For stab crimping the bullet into a brass case. I think this may be a reproduction and am selling it on that basis. It is of a very high quality comparable to that of the original tools, very good overall condition having seen little use.
