When I bought a couple of assorted cartridges from the Philippine Insurrection, this unusual implement was included in the sale. I have no idea what it is. A handwritten note that accompanies it describes it as "some sort of percussion gun tool." Could it have anything to do with artillery or with late 1800's small arms? Any ideas?
