Hi Fernando,
A lovely looking piece. I would suggest that maybe the ramrod tip is made of horn rather than bone, bone seems to me to be a bit brittle for the job. As far as military use is concerned do you mean naval rather than army? I can't comment on the lock as it is outside my sphere but looks of superior workmanship. Another small cannon for 'Fortress Fernando'.

My Regards,
Norman.
