that reminded me that I've got an original complete set of Manufrance 'Nemrod' 12g reloading tools.
Is it worth putting this on ebay? & what should I ask for it?

I believe the same unit was marketed in the US as the Thalson which was discussed earlier in the thread by 2-piper. Hard to say value; 12 ga. might be more desirable in the UK than on this side of the pond, but then not too many re-loaders in the UK judging from comments here. Shipping costs to the U.S. might be an issue, too. It appears to be a solid well-made tool. Gil

I have no idea now what I gave for my Thalson. I have had it for a good many years but don't recall giving very much for it at all back then. May or may not be increased collector value in it now. It is pictured on page 2 of this thread, does your Nemrod look similar?

yes, the same as in the pic on page 2 In the original box and with original instructions in English. Can't remember how long I had them - probably 1960's... Gunter

Gunter, it may hold interest with British wildfowlers some who still handload. I don't have his contact info, but Nick Horten of Langstone Wildfowlers may have an idea of who would be interested on your side of the pond. Gil PS: here's a link to the association above. https://www.ladwaca.com/

Here's an evolution of design change by Manufrance over the years both in 16 ga. The left one appears that it required more machining than the more modern design on the right. The earlier design was from the late 1800s until some time in the 20th Century and both overlapped in later catalogs. The chrome plated part on which slides the shell holder is trapezoidal in cross section and if slightly bent makes closure more difficult. The newer version appears to be less complicated in design and manufacture. In discussing with someone more knowledgeable than I about the manufacture of reloading tools, I commented that it appeared that MF was the only manufacturer that made both tools and guns. I was corrected and told that Winchester made some for the American market which were sold under different brands. Gil

Can't help but think of Miller, the OP, who started this thread. He is missed. Last month I found this old French reloading balance beam scale sold by Manufrance. It is missing 3 weights which fit in holes depicted in the open drawer. The scale is shown in the catalog page of MF reloading equipment upthread in a post by me on 2/19/19. It is delicately made from brass and steel. Gil
