Help me with my Silca pump

Hey all, either reassure me I'm not an idiot, or crush my delusions of competence and explain to me how this Silca pump chuck works on a Presta valve.

The brass tip threads beautifully on to a Schrader valve, but it's much too wide for a Presta, there's no seal. I bought it off eBay and the seller listed it as Presta compatible, but there's no way I can figure to make this pump fill a tube with a Presta valve. And yes, I've reversed the plastic insert and tried it both ways.

My thoughts are that this is a Schrader chuck or the seller failed to include the leather washer. Worst case scenario I'm just kind of dumb.
