Ramrod
Interesting how different cultures handled the situation of the loose ramrod.
Yes, it is Fernando.
I have this picture in my mind of someone drawing their flintlock from their belt with a cowboy-like flourish and putting their attackers eye out as the ramrod flies out of it's sleeve like an arrow from a bow.
Another image is of the poor soldier who, after loading his pistol, gets shot as he tries to figure out how the captive ramrod fits back into the pistol.
