Wheellock Spanner

Hi All,
I acquired this wheellock spanner online and was wondering about the approximate dating of the piece. I have a wheellock pistol dating to the Thirty Years War with which the spanner pairs up nicely. The spanner itself is not particularly ornate, but it was a very reasonable price and certainly did not break the bank. I like the fact that both the pistol and spanner have a plain, martial appearance. The spanner is about 6" long and square opening of the spanning head approximately .25" wide.
Thanks for any input!
