Leadarming looks good. It is tallow put in a hollow of a sounding lead (ascertain sea bed contours)

11 are you sure of the first R? could be Forearm?
Weapon = Firearm - minus I (electrical charge) replaced by O (no)

27 is Lode (ditch or waterway). Bottom of thick overcoat = Loden (thick waterproof fabric) with the N from Loden disappearing = Lode
