Does anyone have any idea what this is? It's about 1.5-2" in length.

The first thing that came to mind is a firing pin of some type. Not really sure though.

It's the handle from a military cleaning rod.

I had this sort of handle with my M60 cleaning kit, but I am pretty sure it was made for the M1 Garand.

I have been looking for one of the old one piece .50 caliber cleaning rods. I had one that I made into a bottle probe but it got away from me and I would like to find another one.
