Sorry, Spiridonov, but: no.

This is not an axis for a missing touch hole cover but a nail to fix the stick stock to the iron socket.

I think that (2) is the nail to fix the stick stock to the iron socket, but (1) is too far from stock to be a nail.

Well, whatever function (1) may have, it is certainly not an axis for a touch hole cover.
