Bill,
Finland refurbished there equipment for reliable service. They made equipment modifications that were simple and cost effective. The cleaning rod that started this thread could be of a later time period than the two that I posted. I understand the the longer one I posted was also used for the Finnish sub machine gun.
The posted brass looped handle cleaning rod can be seen in a Finnish holster in "Borchardt & Luger" on page 1224. In the "Land of Borchardt" the Finnish Luger m23 system rig displays the brass looped cleaning rod in numerous places.
You are correct a narrative regarding Luger cleaning rods would be helpful.
Take care my friend.
