Jon, you sweet summer child.
That is, as the title states, a VINTAGE, CUSTOM P240 .38 Takedown Tool.
Serious inquiries only. I don't have time to deal with people who don't know the value of what they're looking at.

BitCorn or a post-dated two-party check drawn on the Bank of Venezuela.

I thought I might have another one of these CUSTOM, VINTAGE tools, but it appears that I have only the one.
Therefore I must decline your generous offer.
I'll update the original post to reflect the scarcity of this gem.

It can’t be factory original, there’s no Sig/Hammerli logo. I’ll give you $1.76....

I once heard, back in the day in the Old Country, that the original Hammerli engineers were so proud of their achievement and so secretive about their expertise, that they preferred not to stamp the company logo on any of their really "special" tools. The real experts and true aficionado's know and respect this lore and would gladly pay museum quality prices for the real McCoy when opportunities arise.

Actually, Honda doesn't put their name on their specialty tools, but only the part number. I assume that is because they farm out this stuff, like pistons, rings, etc... I believe that Ducati also farms out production of tools. In both cases, ridiculously expensive tools (oh, Ferrari, too). I would imagine those useless cleaning tools and cases are also farmed out, but sometimes companies will put the manufacturers name on the tools and for sure the cases.
As for the snap ring pl... er, Vintage custom Sig/H"fancy a"mmerli p240 tool, I bought a new rilfe so I'm out of cash.

I'm just pleased that it's reasonably priced without price gouging. Nice to see in these times of forgotten manners.

When I had my P240, I carried my takedown tool with me at all times——my thumb nail.

Small paper clip (.02 cents each at Staples) works beautifully. Not as fancy as the real McCoy, though.

One of my shooting buddies told me this thread is one of the first results in a Google search for "P240 takedown tool".
This fills my heart with glee.
I am easily amused.
