That's seem like an average price. It is advertised as being a reproduction so I'm not sure about the quality.
If you want a USGI one, contact Bill Ricca. He might have some.
holy smokes. i just gave away a real one. i thought they were $5
If its a reproduction is to high as they can be had for around $20. The real deal can be had for around $30 plus or minus
IMO the only thing a combo tool is good for is cleaning the chamber
Hi, real ones are hard to find. I got some Italian made from Standard Parts . They're a little different but I didn't want a repro. Regards, Mike

If those are original for the BM59 the brush is to short for the Garand
I did get one of those for my BM59 build
Hi, The Italians used and still use M1 Garands (ceremonial). I measured mine and they are 30-06 length. Bill Ricca has a great write up on these. Mine is marked "C" in a diamond. I sent him an e-mail about this mark. If I learn anything I'll post it. Regards, MikeQuote:

Hi, Bill responded, and after I sent him pictures he could only say they were Italian. The diamond with the "C" inside didn't show in my pictures so he couldn't comment on maker. I have older ones marked "B" for Beretta. Regards, mikeQuote:
