Wayne mentioned this seller above.
Here's one from Ebay, A Fake/Repro IN stamp. It appears the Knurl on the top looks like the Post WWII Yankee Hill Oilers of which some were made for US contracts IIRC, But the Tube looks thinner, I can't see enough to be sure.
When you open my attachment you can pull it up next to Franks to compare the stamp. Someday I'll learn how to do the side x side pics:

Here is a good 2 page read about Oilers and includes when IS stopped the special II, IW, IR .. etc stampings and when they started just using IS. Also includes Blue Print views:
