Clemens and Chris,

Just to confirm, yes it is a .096" 6 fluted spline wrench.

Thank you for the size information.

I'll try and remember it for a while again.

As some of the Fellows posted you can get just the one you need if you go for the 
better tools.

I am looking forward to Chris getting your reproductions completed.

Back in 68 - 75 the tools were already  missing. 

If you were lucky you had one passed to you as some one left.

They were gone from the school house, Phu Bia, every site I visited in Korea and Torii Station in Okinawa.
The Marines and Navy guys said the tools did not exist.
Guys I knew from Germany, Turkey, Japan, Thailand, Shemya, Taipei and Africa also never seen the
spline tools or Philips screw drivers. We never seen them in the black markets either.
All the other tools were in the market any day you wanted one.

By the time I dodged the draft by enlisting no one knew where they had gone to.
Some think they were never actually supplied with the receivers.
We mostly had one each in our tool kit.

We never seen a spares kit either.
