I'm looking for a one-piece range rod, brass, steel, or aluminum with a swivel handle. The only ones I'm finding online are by Treso, & they look suitable, but are unavailable at present. Does anyone know what companies sell a suitable range rod?

I don't know of any that offer them with a swivel handle, but the ones from Track of the Wolf are nice TOTW

October Country offers several. Here is one, but they offer other options as well October Country
 
"Swivel handle not necessary but if it's yer thang, go fer it. Ox Yoke sells some fine brass rods."

I have plenty of range rods with pinned handles, the reason I'm looking for one with a swivel handle is it'll be used as a loading/wiping rod for my original Whitworth & the jag is hexagonal to fit the bore, a fixed handled rod doesn't allow the jag to follow the rifling.

You can get a "spinjag" to go on a standard range rod. Swivel handle rods are great until you need to scrap the beech or pull a ball, then they are useless.

I once made a rod for lapping a new barrel using a bicycle hub for a handle. Not comfortable but it rotated.
 
I use a Dewey .50cal cleaning rod. 44 or 48” long and nylon coated one piece steel. Ball bearing handle. Check ‘em out.
 
You do not need a special black powder rod , I use one piece range rods made by Tetra and other companies like Outers . A rod made for 30 cal+ will do nicely unless your ml has a very long barrel ., I have fitted brass muzzle guards to the tetra rods . Just make sure the rod and any jags you buy have compatible threads
