This is a subject I seem to be having a great deal of trouble finding an answer for.
What were these rods made from? Were they wooden with screw caps on the ends, or metal rods?
Cheers,

Both Tiger I and Tiger II used wooden poles with metal ends though the Tiger II would be longer for obvious reasons, these where screwed together to make one long pole the cleaning action was done by several men and not a job they enjoyed

Thanks for the help. I guess it'll be modelling cocktail sticks and brass tubing again, lol.
