"Ancient" Ottoman (?) Ramrod : Age ?

[kahnjar1]

OK I see. The "ramrods" were used for different purposes depending on what was inside them?
So going back to the first pics, the ramrod shown here has a thread in the middle which does not appear to screw into anything. The "tweezer" is at the end, but there is no thread there to attached the hollow???rod into which the tweezer fits.....so how does this item become a ramrod?

Same question...if it is a ramrod, why is there a thread in the middle of what is left? Surely if it is the end which is missing, then the thread would be there and not in the middle?
These are not a familiar item to me, so I am asking to learn about something new.
