Great details and interesting history! Thank you for the thoughtful responses, I'll post a picture when I finish making a replica. Even if it isn't the most useful tool, it'll look good and fill a slot in the transit chest or holdall.

If you want the factory drawings for the three types of rod (Mk I and Mk I* are the same except the I* is just the same as the rear section of the Mk I) I have them scanned in. D.D.(E.) 1827, 2906 and 2986 and can squirt them down the wire no problem.
Not sure of the copyright issues so won't put them up here.

Also got the drawings of the brushes and mops if you want them for sizing comercial brushes to use on shotgun cleaning rods.
