Dana:
Of course, some parts are easily recognized, but the oil bottle is not evident, the screwdriver fireplaces (nipple wrench) and the version "Y", which serves to "I" (turnscrew NP) (?)

The oil bottle is part of the vertical cylinder in the version "Y" drawing. The oil applier tip and cap is screwed in at the top. A pointed piercer with a screw for extracting jammed bullets unscrews from the bottom of the same cylinder. Like the "worm" it is designed to be attached to a ramming rod. The hole which the piercer / screw comes from can also be used as a nipple wrench.

When I have a chance I will make mark up some photos to make things clearer.

Thanks Fernando I don't mind at all that you have posted this extract & would have replied myself if I had seen this thread sooner.
Dana, its an Enfield rifle tool, as has been correctly noted by several members, in this case one that was issued to Sergeants, these had a few "extras" that the Privates implements did not have, such as a ball drawer & mainspring clamp. There are several patterns of tool that it could be (No. 4, 5 or 7), as these have only slight differences. One clue will be as to whether or not it has a small screwdriver tip beneath the detachable worm?
Regards, Adrian

Hello Adrian, it is a pleasure to meet you.

The Sergeants Tool in my post doesn't have have a small screwdriver tip beneath the detachable worm. Does that make it a 4 or 5?
