Can anyone ID these items?

[Old Ranger]

First item I don't even have a guess. The piece inside the larger end is made cardboard or wood.
Second item I am guessing is some kind of percussion fuse. The metal piece inside slides back and forth.
The third item I'm guessing is a barrel band with a bayonet lug. Anyone know what weapon this would go on?

The first item is a musket tampion, The second is an artillery fuse plug and the last one is a bayonet lug.

Thanks for your feedback. I had to look up what a tampion was. In my days we used condoms for that purpose.

A search on Google indicates the 3rd item is a bayonet adapter.

 

[Old Ranger]

Thanks for the info. Mine has no visible writing, but I don't want to clean it.

Study the fuse some more. Based on these pictures, I would think it may be percussion. It also looks a lot like an Archer fuse to me.

edit: On 2nd thought, I'm sure it's percussion. You can see the slider inside, and that little hole running through the outside wall was for a safety wire mechanism or some such that was disabled when it was time for business. Does that slider inside move at all?

For something comparable, see: Harry Ridgeway's site here

Confederate bayonet adaptors are rare. Made of brass by the firm of Boyle, Gamble and McFee of Richmond, VA., the adaptor enabled earlier manufactured rifles to be properly mounted with sword bayonets without dovetailing the barrel for a lug. The hole will be threaded for a screw to attach it to the stock. The square lug tells us that it is the first model made by that firm. They were made mainly for the M1841 rifle.

Does this one bear any marks or stamps?

I'm glad we have your expertise to lean on in this site.

Will do, thanks.

I'll have to clean it up to look for markings. The hole is threaded.

Yes, the slider moves freely inside.

Yes - it should as it's made of lead or pewter. Probably has a little teat on top that would have likely held a primer cap. Something like this one attached. That's a nice CS fuse & mechanism that you've got there.

 

[Old Ranger]

The nipple is partially still there. Thanks for the feedback.

 

[Old Ranger]

Will do, thanks.

Could be brass, as it isn't magnetic.

Looks like the first pic is a Tompion for an 1853 Enfield and the fuse for a James shell.

I cleaned it up a bit. There are no marks or stamps on it. It is ripped right at the lug, like he stuck his bayonet into something hard.
