I was lucky to find this cleaning rod and an Imperial marked TD tool in a really lousy holster that was on auction on eBay.
I emailed the seller to confirm the rod and tool were part of the auction and had the seller send me photos of the rod and tool before I bid.
The holster was pure rotten junk with no chance of resurrection. I sold /shipped the holster to Jerry B. for shipping costs of $ 12 only...hoping he might find a few parts worthwhile for repairs on other holsters in his shop.
The auction set me back $ 150...I thought a good deal/price for the rod and tool just by themselves.
I think folks on eBay "passed up" the holster offering as the photo made it look really, really terrible in condition.
