The variety of these tools is amazing. Here's another Wheellock Spanner Combined with a Pistol Ramrod and Priming Flask from 17th century Germany.

I love the stiletto one! Just in case you're surprised while reloading or servicing your pistol...

some of these tools are awesome, same style as some of the fancy guns. by coincidence just last week I commissioned Casket Chris to make me a knapping hammer, with screwdriver tip.

Damn I need a metal lathe!
