A few weeks ago i bought a few items at a French auction, among them was this nice piece.
It has a lot of holes with threading cutters into it. There is also some text on it in french with the dates 1681, 26... of 1795 etc.
There are 2 lines of words, ii will try to decifer them in the coming days.
It could have been used for screw making for firearms, so i thought to post it here. (probably far feteched but i did buy it at a firearms auction).
