Casca1,

Here is a drawing of muzzleloading artillery implements with their names given. What you referred to as a corkscrew is known as the worm, (wormer) and I think by "damber" you might be referring to the sponge.

Looks like I'll have to ask AGAIN.  "damber"  ???  Either no one knows or am I being seriously ignored. ;D

Blaster Bob, I'm sorry, I thought you were kidding around; as far as I know there is no cannon tool called a damber. I think Casca1 may have meant damper, which he might have meant (two large assumptions on my part) to describe the sponge.

You would need a "sponge" on your list, and since I don't see what, I assume that is a "damber".

What is the bore diameter?
