What else than a belthook should this device be for? I made a drawing how this hook fits in the recess so that it cannot move when the screw is tightly screwed. Your objection because of the rammrod is ok, but as I think that this pistol is made arround 1770/75, there are more examples without a swivel rammer as for instance the French navy pistols 1779 and 1786. The swivel rammers came up not before ca. 1790. And there are hundreds of examples of pistols with belthooks that have just one screw to fix the hook!
