Flintlock Combination Tool

[gbush]

I found this flintlock combination tool at the Show of Shows in February. IMA had imported from the Nepal. The link to IMA's description is:


Original Antique Folding Flintlock Musket Combination Tool

Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? The IMA description explains what the attachments are for. I would have never figured it out. George

Don't care about this reply : the problem with humor is mine.
In this way this is a french army knife for musketeer, gizmo like some swiss knife for musket...
