They make really great surfaces for engraving. This was done by Heleen van Wyk in SA.

I too like the Ted Cash cappers. I like them because they work very well on a variety of guns and they hold a full box of caps, just dump them in shake it around and watch the caps turn themselves open side up. I can refill my Cash capper with 100 caps quicker than loading 10 caps into an inline capper.
 
Mr. Christiaan & Mr. Coyote Joe,
Have either of you two gentlemen used this style of capper when being rained upon?
Easily "palmed" to aid in keeping caps dry?
They appear to be fairly weather resistant and certainly better than trying to dig a cap out of it's original container.
Best Wishes

I haven't used it in the rain. But I like my Tedd Cash Capper alot. Much better than picking up 98 caps after the tin fell in long grass :redface: :cursing:

:grin: Those are truly beautiful cappers, very nice work. Mine just has a patina of tarnish from being worn on a leather lanyard around my neck under the shirt. Caps stay dry even in heavy rain, unless I fall in the creek. :thumbsup:
 
TCp makes two different cappers, the one show engraved above, and an oval shaped one. I have the latter, and it works great. It also keeps caps dry, in snow, rain, mist, etc. I keep it in an inner pocket under my poncho when its raining, and have never had any problems with wet caps. I shoot CCI caps, which have a plastic film over the priming compound to prevent moisture from getting into the powder, also. My capper holds 100 caps, easily, and they are very easy to right by jiggling or tapping the capper until all the caps turn upright. Either of these cappers will give years of good service. I understood this capper is more appropriate to earlier firearms, but have never studied the issue. The one with the pronounced neck, shown above, came on the market after I had already bought my oval shaped capper. I would buy one of these if I could figure out what to do with two cappers! :hmm: :blah: :thumbsup:
 
I also have the oval shaped one, and I love it. Not as much surface to engrave, but then again, my caplock is a "poorboy" style anyway. Of course, I don't know if a poor boy would have something as complicated and expensive as a capper in any case... :hmm: Anyway, I'll add to the chorus of praise. The ones you show sure are pretty!
 
Have a couple of those teardrop styles and they're my favorites...hold plenty of caps, large enough for big hands to deal with, etc.

Plus they have an additional benefit that I like...while pressing the cap onto the nipple at least there's some metal between the cap & my thumb that should offer a little protection should a cap go off accidentally while being seated.
