Shell Puller?

[Papa G]

I have seen this term a few times. But cannot find anything about it. So can anyone tell me about shell puller?

Sure. Pulls hot shells out of your gun.

My Benelli tool came with my O/U and it has a design where you can pull out a shell with it .

Wow never heard of that!. All my shotguns eject with out fail. It this a fairly recent thing or very old?

Generally the guard is hooked on both sides, so you can use it to extract shotgun shells from a shotgun after they're fired. An antique shop here had an old Italian-made extractor knife, that had guards that were sized for .410 cartridge shells, IIRC.

Here are a couple of threads from Bernard Levine's identification sub-forum here that discuss these knives:

I own a few of them. Both auto and manual opening. They are still made for shotguns that do not have extractors. Some have two gauge sizes. Others have only one size. They are still manufactured by Massaro and a few other makers.
