"Ancient" Ottoman (?) Ramrod : Age ?

Not sure I understand the comments above.
If this is a ramrod missing it's end, then what is the purpose of the "tweezer"?
Same question...if it is a ramrod, why is there a thread in the middle of what is left? Surely if it is the end which is missing, then the thread would be there and not in the middle?
These are not a familiar item to me, so I am asking to learn about something new.
