I found this at a local thrift shop last year. I'm in a small town in Northwest Montana so I don't really have anywhere close I can get it looked at. As you can see the leather enclosure and the zipper is in pretty good shape save on 1 side (shown in the 2nd photo). Inside is a set consisting of a knife, pliers and assorted tools that hook into one end of the knife to be used. The 2 screwdriver attachments do have a different way to attach. I suspect that they attach to the head of the hammer but I have not confirmed this for fear of breaking something. The knife itself has the words "Gussstahl Solingen" & "Germany" stamped into the base of the blade. The fourth picture shows a leather flap which separates the 2 sides when the kits is closed. It is wholly intact and still securely fastened at the top.
I immediately liked this kit because it was in really good condition and I am a nifty tool gadget kind of guy !!. It's closed dimensions are 5 inches wide by 5.25 inches deep. It looks to be made from stainless steel and all of the pieces are in good shape. I'd love to find out more about it if anyone has any wisdom.
