Nipple wrench /Turn screw/ storage for two nipples.

Sorry It's not a flint tool. I made about 8 of these 18 yrs ago.

Now that is neat! I bet that took a lot of machine work. Looks to be very usefull for a caplock.

Bob,
Can't post pictures but I have an original, civil war, nipple wrench that is the brother of what you created. Can send a picture if you like.

I meant to include that the tool end is made from drill rod and the tee section is mild steel  1/2"
The working end it then tempered and when you draw the temper you end up with a nice heat blue.
Contrast  is nice with the brass caps.  Bob

"Not a flint tool" how dare you.
I like Flint Lock just fine, but Cap Lock no less.
That's one fancy tool.
