Prideaux loader

The same friend who has the Fulton military handkerchief I posted a while ago, also has this little item. He had it given to him many years ago and until fairly recently just sat on a shelf in his garage.

It is in very nice condition. I wish it was mine.

What is the value of one of these things nowadays?

Never seen one of those before Peter, it looks really interesting, which revolver was that designed for?

Enfeld and Webley .38

It was for use with the .38 service revolver. There was a .455 version for use with those revolvers. They are not that common today and I know are worth a few bob, but not sure how much.
