Darrell, here is what I am thinking;
track pin punch for something large like a Centurion.
Would it make sense to you that the punch has a wooden handle to keep fingers and hands out of the way while the other end is being struck with a sledgehammer???

Hi Chris

That is exactly my thinking as well.

Funny how later interations of track kits don't have that stand off handle. I've been on the recieving end of some wild swings of the sledge with the old Light Track when I was Lynx Crew!!

Still looking for someone who can say for sure.

regards
Darrell

Hi Stew

No, there is not any cup on the end; it's blunt.

Jason has it now if you need more pics. I just need an ID.

Thx.

regards
Darrell

Sorry Darrel
I looked at the measureing stick thinking it was in inches no metric
The one I have weighs about 4 lbs and is cupped at the end to fit a 3/8 rivet to form the head into about 5/8 cap
