OK I misunderstood, sorry I thought you had posted a pic I couldn't see. The "T-Handled thing is a firing pin removal tool, Like Britrifles said the other 2 are shadows. I've never used it but it came with a kit of L-E goodies that I got from (I Think) Sarco years back. The brass thing with the loop is a jag for holding cleaning patches. Its in 2 pieces & the can rotate as its pushed through the bore. It was used with a "T-Handle" rod (not shown) for clearing obstructions & higher level cleaning than the pull through. In fact its used to push out snapped pull throughs! Unlike modern jags it is un-threaded to prevent inadvertently pulling the now dirty patch back through the bore it just falls out at the other end.

Old topic I know...
In my short time with the Lee-Enfield Rifle and all the odds and sods that go along with it, I've seen just as many steel weighted pull-throughs as I have brass. Mark

Older ones were brass. The steel replacements were a "wartime expediency" to save brass for other things.
