Mosin Nagant Bolt tool with six notches???

[Prof Young]

Smithers:
My mosin nagant bolt tool has six unmarked notches instead of the usual four. I don't know which ones to use to check my firing pin with. The people I bought it from (EverythingforSKS) swear it's an original Nagant tool. They are being helpful but don't have any answers yet either.
Help.

The wood handled wrenches have 6 notches...

For help on locating which ones to use (not my picture)

May want to check the larger notches to see if they fit your cleaning rods. I've read of some tools having cleaning rod wrenches in them, but I've never seen the tear drop ones having 6 notches.

Thanks . . . but . . . ?

Semi:
Thanks. This is all good info, but I'm no closer to knowing which notch is which on my tool. There are no markings on it.

I've found some other web sites with this same question posed and am not finding any answers there either.
Thanks again.

Check that. Right side center notch is nogo, left side center notch is go, the upoer left is firing pin wrench and the bottom two notches are just to clear the bolt lip.

Check right and left center notches. Right should be .75mm left should be .95mm. As you are looking at the picture.

This guy sure is handy. (again, not my pic)

But see how it's being done? Instead of both on one side you have a go on one side and no go on the other.

Thank you so much. This info turns a fairly useless hunk of metal into a real tool. I appreciate it very, very, very much!!!!!
