Hi I'm trying to identify these (likely) English origin Civil War era ramrods. The lengths are approximately 37", 26", & 14". The longest one has a concave tip, the rest are flat. Thank you!

I have just noticed the bulge in the Enfield ramrod which would make it a 'Type 2'. They are not common Civil War rifles - all of those that did get there at that time were 'sold out of service', ex-Army items. They had been well used! The thread on the end would be for a brush or ball-remover.

The photo - try different angles of light to bring out any characters.
