Cleaning Rods

Thanks George and Ron,
I was wondering about the lack of hoop myself and how it would have been used.

John, any pictures of any cleaning rods would be helpful whether they are original or repros. I have a repro cleaning rod myself and would like to compare them to others that I have seen online. I seem to recall there are several variations.

Another question I have is when did they stop issuing the cleaning rods with the pistols? I believe it was in the early thirties but I am not sure.

Also, did the length of these vary from Navy to Artillery to Carbine? Or was one standard size issued with them?

Thanks for the help.

Sid.
