Shipwreck Find - What is it????

[philipknaggs]

Hi Guys!

Diving on a 1800's Englich Shipwreck last weekend.
Found musketballs, copper nails, Brown-Bess Trigger Guard, sheathing etc...

Now, also found this small brass piece. Have no idea what it is.
However, it does have a raised part that has a hole, leading me to believe that it was on a rope or string. One end seems to have been crushed at some point. Important to note that there was a lot of rust "inside" the tube. So iron was in there at some point, and whatever was in there has been rotted away.

What could this possibly be

I think it is a ramrod holder.

I treated it with electrolysis after recovery, then shined it up!!!

I guess you have it solved, however; my first thought was a Bosun's whistle/pipe.
