Hi Guys, I found this on an old revolutionary battlefield. Prevailing guesses pin it as a musket ramrod. Is that what it is? And is it period or replica perhaps form a re-enactor?

Wow, wish I had more knowledge, but all-in-all... a really COOL relic... just think of the guy that held that!
 

Does look like a ram rod tip, but I'd say it's modern. No patina on the brass, and the wood still being there....
 

It looks like a reenactor broke the ramrod on his 1742 first model Brown Bess. Brass tip, wooden shaft.
