Default Asking For A Friend…

Several small unidentified parts/tools or parts of tools were discovered in the case with this nice old back action Parker.
We know there are some offset firing pins, or plungers, but we’re pretty hard pressed to identify the other things. Some look like drift punches but they’re not, they’re almost corrugated or very roughly threaded…

Anybody have a definite opinion of what they all are?

Are you sure they were intended to go with the gun?

They appear to be firing pin blanks for a different gun

Nope...

They were simply included in the case when my Friend received the gun.

? unfinished screws that someone started by turning on a lathe

The dogleg pieces almost look like unfinished LC cocking lever, but they aren't long enough

Bill, to what purpose do you attribute the polished steel ball on one end?

I was thinking unfinished screws too Keavin.

The dogleg pieces look to me like the early offset firing pins.

I've been looking through my vintage gun cleaning implement images, without a match.

Cleaners in the 1892 “Sportsman’s Directory”: Ferris, Tomlinson, Epop, Budd-Eason
https://books.google.com/books?id=AE...AAJ&pg=PR8&lpg

In that the stuff is with a back-action Lifter, they could be much older than 1892

I'm also no help with the pins/punches or dog-leg thingies
