Wanted: A Correct Style 1855 Rifle Ramrod

[Jim Leinicke 7368V]

I need a Model 1855 2-band rifle ramrod that is correctly proportioned to fit an original rifle. A shortened musket rod won't work because the swell is the wrong distance from the end of the tulip end. I tried one repro rod and found that it is made very much heavier than the originals and so will not fit an original stock. Can anyone direct me to a source for a correct rifle rod?

Thanks-
