<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 337045, member: 54"]The odd pattern on the cleaning rod end was the give-away for me, only place I’ve ever seen that pattern is on small-Arms cleaning rods. The little notches retain the cloth cleaning patch used with cleaning fluid to get corrosive chemicals out of the bore, or to oil the bore after cleaning. Other end just looks like a magazine loading tool to me. This tool is military-issue, probably WWii, but I don’t know what country.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
