Here is a cased Montagu pinfire. As you can see there are lots of tools fitted into the case, but two of the tools are somewhat odd and I would like your opinions on what their use might be. Thanks, Daryl

One of the tools looks like what is left of a Turnscrew after Bubba has used it as a leaver the crack in the handle making that obvious, also bending the blade causing the hardened section of the blade end to break off on one side. The other tool with the hole I would say it is a fired cartridge extractor having a hole to take the pin with the shaft bent such a wat to miss the hammers .

Damascus, thanks for your thoughts. I think you could be correct on both counts. The one thing that threw me off a bit was the way the case's "nest" for the turnscrew was made with the tip not square with the shaft. But , with all of the other tools in the case it seems that there should be a turnscrew.
