Mystery Item?

**Flying10uk** · 07-13-2020 02:48 PM

Being a militaria collector, I purchased this item a while ago because it looked interesting and it seemed reasonably priced. The only problem is I don't actually know what it is, other than what is obvious, i.e. sight elements, oil bottle and various tools and brushes etc. One of the small threaded buttons has Parker Hale etched on it but the oil bottle is, paradoxically, of the Eastern Bloc style, although this may not be original to the set.

I am sure that there are people here who will be able to enlighten me as to exactly what I have, please?

Many thanks for any help and information.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I suspect somebody had a nifty dovetail wood box with a sliding lid and went, "Hmmm..." The proceeded to whittle out an inside to hold a nipple wrench and some sight inserts for muzzle loading target gun. What's in the Combloc oil tin? Moose milk?

It appears to be just gun oil, both sides. (Before anyone asks, I did have a little sniff of the oil and very good did it smell too.)

Your oiler looks like Soviet icon

The bore brushes look like the ones that came with the kits in the SKS or AKs that we got here a couple decades back. That would go along with the oil bottle though, they came together.

The sight disc's look to be part of early target peep set ups. Possibly British icon
