The Grant Moon Stamp Starter (Welded Handle), also known as the GDM Pre Punch or Starter S, is a specialized forging tool used to initiate the nail hole in a horseshoe. It is designed to be used in conjunction with a Plain Stamp to create a clean, flat-bottomed hole for a pritchel while maximizing the lifespan of both tools.

Key Features:
Pyramid Point Design: The Starter stamp features a pyramid point with chamfered corners to reduce resistance when making the first part of the nail hole.
Welded Steel Handle: This version features a permanent welded steel handle, providing a more robust and direct feel during heavy forging compared to traditional wood handles.
GDM Tooling Standards: Manufactured in Italy with high-grade steel and advanced hardening processes to ensure the tool withstands repeated high-heat impacts.
