Here's a Signal Corps set I picked up. The TL-29 is by Camillus and the pliers are a TL-13 made by Boker, made in the US. The previous owner was in the Signal Corps during WW2 according to his widow.____Dave

That one was made for Channellock Racing in the 1990s. Their driver was Sammy Swindell, and that is his signature on the handle.

You fellas have been showing some nice stuff
Carman ,that USMC one have never seen. That’s a dandy
Adam5 . That Queen is a very nice addition to your collection.
Here’s a few . The older ones you unlock the screwdriver by pressing down on the main while closed. There’s no liner lock , they aren’t technically TL 29s . The Inspector kit is the only one have seen in 40 years of dealing with military stuff. The pics are from Mr. Silveys book.
