These cleverly designed, forged iron musket tools were fabricated at the Richmond Arsenal (See Davies, “CS Armory Richmond Book,” for photographs of several examples). They combine a double-ended screwdriver blade that pivots on a rivet, so as to also act as the T-handle grip, for an extended nipple wrench, which would fit over the square base of the nipple taking the percussion cap. The T-grip would give the soldier greater torque in unscrewing and replacing a battered or damaged nipple from the musket or rifle vent, which could be a life-saving factor in battle. This has a modeled brown, somewhat crusty iron surface. The wrench portion measures 3 3/4 inches tall. The tips of the screwdrivers are in a good state of preservation. This is a scarce example of a key Confederate gun tool carried in the field. [stp][ph:L]
