This excavated Confederate combination gun tool is in good condition and is a classic example of tools manufactured at the Richmond Armory.  The tool is "T" shaped with a main wrench body that has a 1/4 inch socket at one end and a pivoting cross handle at its other. The handle has screwdriver blades at either end. Similar examples of this tool can be found in the following reference books:
