Most any screw driver is one, but I suspect you want a nice period quality perhaps for a cased set ? . There are or their was at least makers of fine quality case fittings one Mick Marsh probable retired now, but there one in Arkansas I gather then thiers Peter Dyson,but bound to be others Lots of luck.

Hi Rusty,

Have you considered making some yourself? Here are two videos on the basics:





I can give you more information on making them in a more period correct manner, if you are interested.

Here are some fancy turnscrews made at Colonial Williamsburg, to give you an idea:

I believe the OP wants one made entirely of steel or iron. One that a blacksmith might make. I PMed him and that is what I was told.

Kind of like these with a screw driver tip. (Best image I could find on internet on short notice).

Note: You may ask and find out differently, but most all of these made require you to grind or file the blade tip to match your screw slot.
