    Unusual GERMAN tool- need serious help with this one

    Years ago my father aquired a 1944 dot mauser rifle and a ww2 cartridge box. inside the cartridge box was a unuaual item. Inside was a capsul approximatly 3 1/2 inches long made of brass and covered in silver, this capsul unscrews in the middle and inside is a punch, blade screw driver, screw type awl and a cork screw. one of the sides has a slot that these tools fit into and when screwed back together it forms a T handle for using the tools. end of capsul is marked F.M. sprewerke AG Germanyicon. i have never seen anything like this, and alot of military guys i have shown it to haven't eather. What it appears to be in my opinion is some kind of german military tool that was issued to troops, but what years is unknown. I have tryed every kind of internet search and keep getting information on P-38's by sprewerke. idea of what years it may have been made is totaly unknown. has anyone ever seen anything like this??????? I currently have lent it to a friend who does military shows so he is trying to find out what it is also????

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    It sounds like a kit I recently saw for a pistol, but now of course I can't remember where I saw it. Try to get a picture.

    Silver (plated?) does not sound like military equipment. And it is almost certainly Spreewerke

    Patrick

    P.S: is that perhaps nickel plating?
