From another Bulgarian craftsman is this traditional style loading rod (ramrod) for pistols. Most of the Ottoman Empire style pistols were made without a ramrod provision under the stock. Or fitted with with a short piece of rod as a styling exercise often called a false ramrod.
The locals preferred to load their pistols with a separate metal rod suspended with a cord or leather throng around the neck.
Amazing there is still someone in Bulgaria that makes replicas of these rods. Of course, I had to have one, thanks to Cyten. LOL It will easily accommodate up to a 12" barrel. Made from a solid piece of brass rod. Very happy with the workmanship.
