"Ancient" Ottoman (?) Ramrod : Age ?

Ah! this time I will disagree with Rick.
It is a suma rod, in a very bad condition and one piece is missing.

Hi Kubur!
I stand corrected. Thanks for the Link to that photo. You're right. It was originally a Suma Rod, that looks to be in excavated condition. That loop on the side of the shaft tells me it was to assist in un-screwing the lower portion with the thumb. My error. Good catch. I agree.
Actually, when I think about it, I don't know what else it could be, LOL
Rick.
