The first one, left above, didn't have the two pieces screw together. The little bit has 2 holes.
Then came brass. Steel during WW2.
DCM/NRA thong. Similar to the early thong but only 1 hole.
Advertised as U.S. Government cleaners. Any claim is a good claim for sales.
The Ordnance Department needed a study to figure out the Germans weren't nearly as stupid as they were. The troops in the ETO figured that out without benefit of a study.
