A study on firearms tools

My 'Räumnadel' is a very basic one, not much worthy; probably 19th century ... or even later, if it was used in operational gun replicas. In this case it could either be for clearing ventholes or percussion niples.
I was found on the grounds of a shooting range, after a contest involving all types of ignition, from matchlock to percussion, open to originals and reproductions.
I wouldn't know what name these things have/had over here; arms lexicon is not 'universal'; we call venthole 'ear' and nipple 'chimney'.
