383strokerNeed help identifying this tool
Hi all, I've had this tool for around 20 years, picked it up in an Army surplus store. sorry I don't know how to take a pic and place it up but it's a stamped piece of metal with a flat blade screwdriver on one end and has 3 cutouts for open end wrenches on the other end, along with a swiveling pointed punch in the middle of it. I know someone here knows what weapon it was made for, Help me out please.
