Here's what Supica and Nahas have to say:
The sight screwdriver you need has a knurled aluminum handle, steel shaft with a flat (not hollow ground) blade. This type of sight screwdriver was introduced with the 44 Magnum in 1956 (shown on the far left in the photo below).

Welcome to the Forum! Lots of .44 Magnum and Model 29 fans here, so you're in good company. You're fortunate to have a nice 5-screw .44 Magnum with its blue/black pebble grain leatherette case (should have a blue satin lining). Wiregrassguy and Doc44 have described the Sight Adjustment Tool (SAT) that you were asking about, and your case should also have a cleaning rod, brass brush, and cotton swab (mop). You didn't mention the barrel length of your .44 Magnum (4" or 6-1/2"), or the finish (blued or nickel). If you'd like more information about the manufacture date, etc., please include the s/n and a description...our Forum gurus (i.e. Doc44) have a wealth of information about these early revolvers. Photos are always appreciated, too. Enjoy!
Something like this...
... but with coke grips, rather than the ivory.

Richard, I know you like your packages to be correct so I've got a set of "slightly used" but correct "cokes" for your 44 which I'll happily trade you for those old ivory ones.

Thank you for your gracious and thoughtful offer.
I know that I can count on you. That particular 44 Mag is stored separate from the case, BUT stored in the case is a perfect set of Cokes that are assigned to that gun (they may even be the ones from the factory), along with the tools shown in the photo. ... so I'll probably have to pass on your offer at this time.

Richard could you tell us the overall length of that mop? I'm hunting for one in my father in law's basement full of stuff.
