is this a RAMROD

Hi Richmond,
Thinking out loud ...
This is hardly a ramrod, guessing by the parameters you give.
If it has 90 cms. lenght and the female screw suggests a second section, this would make it too long, unless if it were for a long gun (cannon) which is out of question.
If on the other hand, the thread is not for an extension but for applying a cleaning or extracting device, you still have to odd details to consider; its considerable 2 Kgs. weight and the sturdy diameter of its grip, suggesting it not to be for raming with your fingers but for turning it with one or two hands.
But again, i may be talking nonsense
