A Screwdriver
Hi
I found this flat tip years ago in Calgary but never thought it was MV/AFV connected. Looked good in my VW toolbox. I see now that it has the mark IRWIN-US of A GOV.STOCK#41-S-1076 Is this a US Army issue tool for an MV?  Any comment appreciated. Thx. regards Darrell

Darrell, that is the screwdriver that was common in M38 and M38A1 vehicles (both US and Canada). Im sure there were other vehicles that used the same. There were a few different lengths available (depending on the vehicle). If you wish to sell it, please PM me. I have been looking for one for a while.

Here is a photo of one with the same stock number, that I can confirm came from a 1953 M38A1Cdn (Gagetown Jeep). It has been modified to get better leverage on the screws that hold the brake drums to the hub. That's why I have been looking for an unmolested tool.

Hi Wayne
Thanks for that. I've had it a while and for some reason thought it was older. Oh well, thank you all the same. PM me your address and it's yours for the postage costs if you want it. I don't have my 72 Ghia or 71 Baja any more.  regards Darrell

There is debate on the G503 if the Irwin as shown was wartime or post war. Doesn't seem like the experts could decide. I remember seeing them in the vehicle tool kits of the vehicles back in the 70s, although they were obviously legacy tools at that time.
