I bought an assortment of S&W tool kits off gunbroker but along with the lot these 3 barrel brushes were included too. I have seen Colt barrel brushes from pre war and the thinly wound one on top looks similar. The middle I believe is a .38 pre war brush and I have no ideas about the bottom brush but it seems to be deteriorated some. Any help about any of the 3 would be much appreciated. I have a lot of empty S&W boxes to fill.

Well seems that I have not received any tips or answers on my brush issue. I managed to find a picture online of a pre war .38 regulation police in box with tool. The tiny wire brush I thought was for a colt is actually the tool that came with the .38 tegulation police. I have no box but do have a gun so I pictured them together. The larger wire brush were for the pre war Military & Police which I do have box for and several guns but just pictured brush and box together. So all I need help with is last brush that I took another picture of its pretty delicate. So any guesses??

Who would have thought people would keep/collect expendable brushes for cleaning handgun barrels from 80 years ago???? LOL
 
I have some surplus ones that look the same and a couple in .45 caliber that look the same. I have no idea as to the age of the cleaning rods, but have had and use them for years.
