I'm enclosing the Navy rod blueprint for the early brass zig-zag version, but the dimensions are the same as for the later steel version.

Hello Norm,

Well I took the rod and compared it to a navy holsters' cleaning rod pouch. The fit is perfect. So much so that I wonder if the rod was intentionally broken off at that length, for use with a navy holster. For now I think I will not make any attempt to further modify it. Thanks for your insight and comments.

Best regards,
Joe G.
