cleaning rods
 

Hi,

Anyone have a good overview of cleaning rod types?
Tried to scan through the archives but found most pictures aren't available (anymore?)

What has a wooden kegshaped handle with 2 lines per side? What I have looks like a LP08 rod, but I haven't seen this type of handle before. Most have 3 lines per side on the handle...

Here's a scan of the beast:

Just repeating the question,

Anybody can indentify this? Browsed through quite some books but they only show the handle with 3 lines per side.

I am not sure, but I think that this might be a NAVY cleaning rod... perhaps someone else might be able to give some more information...

John,

Would be nice, since the Dutch Korps Mariniers used navy equipment, amongst others.

It does NOT appear to be Imperial German Navy; all of my Imperial German Navy rods have 3 rings.

Thanks for the correction Tom A. Nice to have you around when I make mistakes like that! :)

My Friend John et al,

It may still be a Navy rod, but not necessarily Imperial German Navy. I try to avoid ruling things out, without qualification, in dealing with these wonderful pistols. There is still so much we do not know.
