Subject:
What is this? *PIC*

Gary Smyth

I'm partial to pointy stuff. I found this in a abused pile of crap in a wood crate last Sunday. It was dirt cheao as the vendor thought that it was a beat up screwdriver, which it is not. This is a quality tool. It had surface rust and the point edges were dinged a little. A jeweler's file removed the niks at the point and a light coat of oil and 0000 steel wool buffed the chromed shaft. It's 16" long and the "arrowhead" edges are not sharp. The tool says rosterel germany. I can't get a "for sure" ID off of the web. Can anyone identify the maker? I have a suspicion of its use but I thought I'd ask.
