A better image of the sample in the Wallace Collection, London, ca. 1580-1600; the screwdriver is missing from the tip of the spanner.

This plain but 'untouched' all-iron combined powder horn and swiveling wheellock spanner, probably Austria or South Tyrol, ca. 1550-60, was sold as a lot together with a little brass flask at Bonhams London, 23 July 2008, for 500 GBP.
The screwdriver is still present though damaged.

Thank you so much, Marcus,

This is also Italian, ca. 1600, finely pierced and notably made overall!

Best,
Michael
