1581 is still listed in the current catalog. If yours uses a button
then I'd bet that it's a 1584 or 1587.
Incidentally there's an IPB at
http://www.ereplacementparts.com/bosch-1581vs-0601581534-jig-saw-parts-c-128_1098_3098.html
and the last item on the list is the special screwdriver, which you
can order for $4.50 and shipping, but it's a special order item which
they say takes 2 weeks.

Bosch Jigsaw Models
My cyber buddy DeBula (not Villa) answered most of your questions about the Bosch so
I'll answer the one about alternatives in the same price range.
1). I haven't seen the Milwaukee around here but, except for cordless tools, they seldom
make a bad tool and they always make one of the most powerful in it's class.
2). The Porter Cable 7849 (# might be off) is the one I chose over the Bosch for one
main reason: blades. The Bosch's clic system is real neat but they take only genuine
Bosch blades...while damned near anything with teeth that's not curcular will work in
the Porter Cable. There's never a Bosch dealer open when I break my last blade on a
jobsite but even some large supermarkets that are open 24/7 carry Vermont American or
Milwaukee blades that will fit the PC. PC's base doesn't tilt, one of the few on the
market that don't. Never thought I needed a tilt base until I didn't have one. Darned
if I didn't have two situations come up where I did need a tilt base on one in the first
3 years I had that PC....but I balance that out with the fact that I've broken probably
3 dozen blades in the same timeframe and can live with my decision<grin>
3). Couple of trim guys I know have the DeWalt and they swear by it....dunno how many
types of blades it takes but one of them stopped by to borrow my PC two Sunday's ago
when he broke his last one on a job down the block.
