Short Pistol Cleaning Rod-small handle

Cleaning Rod (small Handle-short) for .38 WW2 pistols. This version is quite scarce and shorter than normal, there are a small number of 37 pattern and RAF holsters in existence which only accept a shorter than usual cleaning rod, I can only assume that some 4" or under barrelled revolvers were taken into service, perhaps during the period of shortage in 1940/41. Photo shows a standard rod, the design is similar the only difference being that the one being sold here has a shorter shaft
