I could only dream of running into something like that at a flea market and the owner not knowing what he had.....

Very nice toolset, but if they are unmarked how is it documented that John Derr owned them?  Would be cool the reproduce a set like that tho!!  Maybe we should ask the seller for more photos  ;)

Ok  I just got off the phone with the seller.  He said the gunsmith tool set appears to be a handmade set, even though the knurling looks machine made.  his documentation was from the lady who had them on consignment from the original auction house he acquired them from.   I asked him for additional photos, he didn't know when he could get those up, but would try.  I really need to stay away from old tools  :-X   in this case not to difficult way outta my proce range !!

Does anyone actually know what a trepanner is for? This is a medical tool..One might not be so excited when they find its intended use.. quite a work of art though..

A trepanner was an early medical instrument that was used like a brace and bit except the trepanner cut a core out for removal. Sometimes used for cutting a hole in the skull.
