Any idea what these might accomplish ?
Mystery to me , but they do have what seem to be DW grip medallions on the end.
Any thoughts ?

Interesting. I literally have no idea but it has me intrigued. You should send those photos to the lead revolversmith at DW (Bob Collins).
bob@cz-usa.com is his email.

From my manufacturing background I'm thinking these are gauges of some sort probably from the DW factory. Something related to cylinder or perhaps crane alignment? I agree that Bob Collins is your best bet on finding out what these interesting tools really are. Keep us posted.

Probably are worthless, but I will give 25.10,LOL
Let us know for sure what you find. Is it possible someone just had some DW grip Emblems and liked them, and glued em on the ends? Do the emblems look like they may have been born there. Pic of the emblems is kinda Blurry to me.

Well ,,,,Got something ,,,,maybe.
Staring at em today and it dawned on me I left something outta the equation.
These came with a stash of parts including some previously mentioned 460 Rowland barrels .
Dan Wesson Rowland chambered guns are moon clipped guns .
The six sided shape in the middle of the one tool is the same as a full moon clip.
The diameter of the second tool is a close but sloppy fit to the inside I.D.. of a 45 ACP.
I spent some time playing and successfully loaded and unloaded moon clips . Put the clip on the tool and push down on a rim. Put the other tool in the empty shell , use it like a fulcrum against the other tool and it pops right out. Even has flatspots on the end that line up with each shell.
Not a rocket science tool ,,,, there are much better ways,,,,, but it works.
Maybe not what they are for ,,,,,,,,, but it is something they can do.
