Milsurp After Hours

This is the Swiss Army Knife of .58 cal Enfield tools. Jag for cleaning, screw driver, ball puller, oil can, nipple pick, lock spring wrench... all in one. Full of grease when delivered and looks like something made recently... and probably was, although that is not what I thought when I ordered it. No matter, I didn't pay all that much for it anyway.

You'll pay a lot for an original, there's one here for

£275:

I'f you don't want it Robert just send it to me it'll go well with my 2 band.

Where did you get it BTW, could be original if it came from the Nepalese cache.

The Regimental Quartermaster, a Civil War suttler and supplier has these on hand. I saw them displayed at the Fort Branch reenactment last month. I think they were around $20 or so. The ones on display were replicas.

It looks like one of the items Parker Hale were producing in the 1970s, when they made repro Enfield rifles - I used to have one of those tools when I had a repro Brown Bess. It worked as well for a flintlock as it did for a cap and ball rifle.

It is for sure something made as a reproduction and it pretty much says it plainly at the site where I got it from....
