Extractors (Firearms), cartridge pullers were used to pull out bullet shells from old hunting guns,  shot guns,
These are all nonefolding extractor  combination whistles that mount on top of round pea whistle types.
Defined here as TYPE A .
Type B , see another article  here
C will be discussed in other articles here in combination whistles and multitools.
The extractors come in different gauges, most common is 12 bore.
They were made from the 1850s to as late as 1920s.

Type A has few main variations whish I hope to discuss in the future.
one see the different variations here, easy to see there are long neck and short and others.  


A group of 5 none TYPE A (None folding Extractors), Two on the right are made by Dixon & Sons, second right is a very early made one propably 1850s. The long neck one is a Hawksley.

                                           
12 Gauge bore J. W. Hawksley 86 mm

                  
above note loop hole in the middle of the short 'neck' typical of some German and Swiss made ones.
I think of these parts above the round pea whistle  as a neck a head and a crown, the Large loop as head and the Claws as ,crown,.
