Luger Cleaning Rods

Adam, I assume that these "wood barrel" cleaning rods are for the 8" barrelled LPO8. Sarco sells some pretty good copies for $20 and years ago Navy Arms had some rough ones as cheap as $5. Also Finland made some issue rods of various lenghts, with smaller than normal "wood barrel" tops. Since there were several types of German originals, made at various times (See Still's "Imperial Lugers" page 113) it is sometimes quite difficult to tell the difference. Also don't count on Imperial proofs (crown over a letter) as authentication, as these are also being faked. TH
