Oiler Identification Help
I found this oiler stuck in the butt of a Long Lee - it contains a very thick oil /grease that smells slightly 'antiseptic' and whilst probably not original it would be nice to think that it is.
Oiler is 3.75" long
Has a 'rounded' base (it wont stand up)
Is Brass
Has the following markings :
'Crows Foot'- WD 'Arrow'
Crown
G3
A strange looking 'b' ( a bit like the German symbol for 'double S' ie ß)
All surrounded by a 'sunburst' around the markings
I believe it to be a 'mark 3' oiler dated between 18th December 1899 (LOC 10122) and 22nd June 1906 (LOC13470)
Any ideas on manufacturer,date etc ? - thanks in anticipation
