How common are the two combination tools for the M1866 2nd Allin Conversion?

OMG! TWO tools?

I've only got the 'multi-blade'!

I've got a dual pin-punch set with my M1855 tools. Similar to the one you show listed on ebay, but does not have the screwdriver on the tip.

As a side note, was always impressed how they took older tools and modified/reworked them for newer model weapons.

Unlike today when everything seems to end up on the trash heap. Like the taxpayers who paid for them.

Finally located my gun tools book,apparently both those tools are modifications of the M1855 tools,it notes nether are common.I picked them both up for under $40.The pin punch tool is marked US on one of the legs.Both are near mint condition and finish wise.
