Sometimes the simplest of object may not be seen for what they are. Item 11/15/02 is a 7.5cm brass tube.

Historic Context:

It may have been simply discarded as another piece of building material but a number of volunteers who had seen military service and endured hours of rifle cleaning recognised it as the weight for a ‘pull through’ from a rifle cleaning kit.
