Could this be Civil War related?

Hi all.

Found this today at a skirmish site. The site is also loaded with railroad iron so it wouldn't surprise me if it's RR related.

The length is approximately 18.75 inches. Diameter of the main shaft is a little over 1/4" with the large end being around a 1/2" in diameter.

Thanks for the help.

It has the 'look' of a ram-rod but I'm not sure.

You will find out someday.

Heck I still got one that 4 'Veteran' relic hunters & dealers stated , well 2 said "it's a ramrod" & 2 others said it was nothing so I still have it.

A ramrod is what it reminds me of, but I couldn't find a match online and I don't know enough about their construction to know if it could be one or if it's just some modern garbage.
