I was perusing Dyson's site & noticed that they reproduce a brass headed rammer for the Whitworth rifle. I was wondering if the military P/62 or P/63 Whitworth's had these brass headed rammers?
 
The reason I ask is because I have a brass headed rammer (pictured below) on a Calisher & Terry rifle, which I think does not belong - and I was wondering if it is originally from a Whitworth?

Hi Bill, Thanks for replying.
I think it is most likely a volunteer rod then, perhaps it is correct after all to the C & T, I rather hope so.  
One in 600 sounds like a long shot indeed, Dyson  on his website says that he make these from an original Whitworth rod that he has, is this by chance the one that you refer to?
 
I should have remembered that the P/62 & P/63 Whitworth's had a seperate cleaning jag anyway.
 
I am unable to answer your question exactly about my rammer's length, as I have only recorded the barrel at 33.5 inches, so I assume that it is 33 inches long but am away from home at present & can't double check.
Thanks, Adrian.

Hi Bill,
Good question, when I get home in a few weeks I'll be able to measure it properly. The C & T is stamped 30 bore, what is that in inches?? And whether the rod suits .45 or thereabouts will be a point of interest, it looks like it may do from the pic.  
Nothing wrong with your eyes! Adrian.
