Default ? S&W cleaning rods

Are these S&W? Or Colt? If S&W, what era?

Thanks. Steve

The top one could be a S&W cleaning brush. I doubt the bottom one has any connection to a S&W. Cleaning brushes/rods were often purchased by the factory from outside sources, so there is little continuity in the features that can assure one that a particular item is a factory supped item. Ed.

I hate to disagree with my mentor Ed, but, I have a 2nd Model Single Shot box that came with a brush exactly like yours.

These cleaning rods came with top-break boxes I've acquired over the years. I've also heard that these were purchased by S&W from outside sources, but supplied with guns.
