Hello all,
I am new here but have visited for awhile. Nice site!
I recently acquired a gun cleaning rod of a design that I have never seen before. Nice hardwood with 3 sections that are permanently connected by brass hinges, secured in place by sliding tubular brass ferrules to lock the rod in the extended position. It folds down to 12” and is 31” when extended. No markings anywhere for identification.
Can’t figure out how to post pics here yet (see no “file manager” link on this page), but have some up on the FB SxS group. If anyone can help with info on who manufactured this and how old it might be, that would be great. I have searched but found nothing similar. Thank you!

A hinged three piece cleaning rod. Now that's something I've never seen, but would like to. Hope y'all can get the pics up.

Can someone give me advice? I went to FAQ and it says to click “file manager” on the post or reply page. If tried 6 times....searched and do not see any link like that. I’ve never had trouble posting photos like this. Must be missing something.

The file manager is not on this site. To post a pic here you have to store your picture on a third party hosting site. There's lots of them. Then follow the off site posting instructions on your hosting site to copy the pic here...Geo

That is a very nice cleaning rod. Takes some thought making it to get it to close and open right.

And it locks up tight! I can’t believe this is a one-off production, but I have searched and can’t find anything like it. Also, whoever made it was skilled. The materials and tolerances are high grade, so having no maker’s markings just increases the mystery. I would have signed/stamped this if I made it! Lol. Hopefully someone will come up with some info.
