    Am thinking that is the remnants of the original screwdriver sans the wooden handle and with the blade broken-off?

    I've seen a lot of Le Coultre kits and I've never seen one of those tools.

    It's usually a small screwdriver with a wood handle. Didn't have any wood to fit so used antler. If the razor does not come with screwdriver how were buyers to change blades?
    Most I have seen on the bay that are complete have the screwdriver.

    There was a slot in the box for it!

    You are absolutely correct. Give that man a cigar.

    For the screwdriver or the mystery tool?

    I have seen those. Guess that makes this an older model.

    The later models had a thumbscrew knurled like a watch crown, no screwdriver required!
