Hi Folks
I came to this forum for its fantastic info on US army tools, The time is not right for me to get a Jeep but I sure will show you when I do.
I'm putting together the Comapany repair kit for the 1903 Springfield rifle, I have most of it but can not find the screwdrivers.
They are about 6" long and there are three of them. A 1/4" wide head, a 5/32" head and a 3/16 head.
Attached is a photo from the depot repair kit which was contemporary with the 1910-early ww2 kit.
Any leads or info is much appreciated
Thanks
Roy

Re: ISO Screwdrivers
Hmmm, difficult to tell which brand that is without a bette scan.
Perhaps we can help rule them out.
The first image is a Blue Point screwdriver. It's next to a 6in pair of round nose pliers for reference.
The next image is a Stanley driver, at the bottom of the image, the ferrule is a dead giveaway for this type
The last image is a Bridgeport. Notice that the ferrule is much shorter than the ones in the scan you posted. The handle is shorter on this one as well.
Hope that helps. Stanley made a bunch of different drivers during the war. We have a scan of the '41 catalog HERE.

Re: ISO Screwdrivers
Thanks Mudbox
That scan is only one available. I think the brands were quite similar back then, Irwin, Hurwood/Stanley and Blue Point are all fairly close. The trouble is finding the 6" ones with a matching maker.
