1053. is a fiber optic eyepiece for night vision goggles. On a side note, a forensics company bought the remaining stock after the product line was discontinued and sold them as fingerprint magnifiers.
1054. Right handed slaters axe, used to trim, shape and poke nail holes in roofing slate. Left handed version has spike on other side.

1049. Artillery fuze. The dial is used to set how long after firing it goes off. At a guess its for a WWI or wwII era shrapnel or HE shell, but hard to say. Modern fuzes usually come to a sharper point, unless they're for mortars.

1050 Looks like a grounding lug for an electrical panel.
I have an 1053 in my desk drawer, so I know what it is basically. It could have many uses, though I've never heard of it used for night vision goggles.

1052 A removable throttle handle for a streetcar or locomative?
1051b. This is not a weapon but was used for a similar purpose as the tool in the previous photo, 10" long: [Image]
1052. 12-1/2" long: [Image]

1053. 1-5/8" diameter, made of glass, both the top and bottom are flat: [Image] For more guesses on this one and a chance to win a t-shirt, take a look at Neatorama.
