(SPG + Added more info...)

As seen here, the bore brush lightly 'marked' one side of the mop, presumably from prolonged contact. (The other side of the mop is 'clean'.)

For possible future reference, the length of the mop, plus the brass cores of both, are the characteristics that mark these as Smith & Wesson artifacts from the early 1950s. (And, of course, the relatively well-known history
of this particular Mop & Brush Set...)

The pre-27 these items came from was a Gold Box gun, and as I recall, its S/N was between S100,000 and S105,000.

The set should be in the Mail and on its way to you by early next week.
