This "five piece" loader is complete. The wooden handle on the end of the decapping pin is probably not original. The caliber on this one is 45-60-W and the overall size and weight of the tool set is significantly greater than the 44 W one. Usually, one or more pieces of these tool sets is "missing in action", but this one is complete. The insert in the lower left of the composite image shows the marking on the seater tube.

As is so often the case...this "five piece" loader has been reduced to "three pieces" by loss of the decapping pin and stabilizing plate over years of storage and use. The caliber on this one is 50-GOVT, and it is the larger size variation as noted above in the 45-60 tool. One sees a lot of 32, 38, 40 and 45 caliber examples for each 50 caliber specimen encountered. The "50's" tended to be well used and all are relatively scarce today. The insert in the composite image shows the marking on the seater tube which includes "B.G.I. Co" in this case..
