A brass wad funnel? I've been at this a while and never heard of a wad funnel. Is it like the plastic wad guides? Or maybe you mean powder/shot funnel? If the latter case, yes they still make brass funnels for shot and powder. Check muzzleloader stores.
The one I'm talking about is for black powder wads and cards use to come with a rammer. Shell fits completely inside funnel.
I have some in my antique tools assortment

Reason I asked is a friend passed and left me the shotgun we grew up shooting. We always loaded it with black powder. The funnel was very helpful. I will keep looking thanks guys.
The funnel was for paper black powder 2-1/2 shells.
They show up on flea-Bay just about every day. Try searches for “Antique Reloading” and “Vintage Reloading.”

E Bay has them and they are not that expensive if you shop.
Found one thanks for the help gents.
