-Reamers to clean or modify cavity in explosive charge for gaine.
-Primer wrenches for different primer types.

Nice ones there, Tmine. Here are some of mine. As far as I know, these are all designed for U.S. ordnance.

Tmine, please could you post the nationality of each of those tools? Are they all official military items?

 

[Tmine35]

Yes they are all original military tools and most of them came to me from Finnish Army scrap sales some years ago.

First picture from top:
- 2 Finnish combination tools, mainly for mortar fuzes.
- unknown finnish tool.
- unmarked for German fuzes.
- Norwegian for German fuzes.
- On right 2 unknown but Finnish army property markings.

Second picture:
-No markings on any but they all fit on Finnish mortar shell threads.

Third picture:
-On top Norwegian marked wrench for German primers.
-All other are Finnish marked.

Excellent pictures Tmine35.

Which wrenchs fit the C/12 primer?

It is very interesting to learn about the different tools required for ordnance items.

Very interesting tools! Always nice to see what people are using to work on the the fuzing and priming.

One of the most important tools, that I haven't seen pictured, is the wheelbarrow used to take the Ordnance home!

Thanks tmine, I was most interested in the tools for undoing primers. I made a few of those myself. I can see ones there that look like they are for British, Russian and German primers among others.
