Hi everyone! I found this a couple of years ago and I am now gonna sell it. But don’t know anything about it. Can someone help me? It’s marked with D.R.G.M. On on place, the numbers 8 and 25 on another place. And what I sink says “Cohri” or “Cohi”

please leave a comment if you know anything about it. Thanks in advanceIMG_0984.jpeg.5eda32ce2b4fd5e638eaee3d17acb1ee.jpegIMG_0986.jpeg.c6211779fe2a5b875dba1c1d8995fd4c.jpegIMG_0987.jpeg.dfe8c06d0defa4b44f54b08469d1d187.jpegIMG_0989.jpeg.b62afcb605db407d52017f221030c9f4.jpegIMG_0983.jpeg.af117c948ec902b31021e8ffef375ed9.jpegIMG_0985.jpeg.7f199a5ba5743f49fc8e5ba9dbd6b8f2.jpeg

Looks like a press for gommets?

I have not seen that particular version, but see these once in a while. I don't actively seek them out to buy but have a Sutton on the shelf here with a small sack of other heads and anvils for it. I kinda like looking at it for now. These set a lot of different things - eyelets, lace hooks, snaps, etc. These multi-head fly presses seem to be mostly on the back bench in old shoe repair shops next to slopped over glue pots with a cranky 80 year old repairman wearing an apron to match. Those guys normally don't say much but usually open up when I ask if they have an aglet press too. (Press to put the ends on shoelaces). Once I say that they figure I might be worth their time to chat with.

Yes I have owned two newer version of this revolver solution. They were also made in German made I think. DRGM stands for "Deutsches Reichs Gebrauchs Muster", and was used between 1891 - 1944. Hopefully someone on this forum knows more!

Haha! Yes and they look really cool! I think I am gonna sell this one, that’s why I am looking for info. Like I wrote in the other answer. It’s made in Germany, DRGM ("Deutsches Reichs Gebrauchs Muster", 1891 - 1944). Let me know if you stumble over anything that seem interesting in my hunt :) thanks!
