    Anybody see or have an oiler like this?

    Hey guys,

    Bought this oiler from Riverbank or Chestnut Ridge for eight or ten bucks.
    Don't think it is a repro. Very good quality, solid nice old plastic. Figure it is late fifties or early sixties. Haven't seen photos of one like it. Came with the cleaning rod segments, case and brass brush with the soft plastic connector. Maybe post some photos of that also.

    Any info or comments?

    Death to out of control governments,

    Riverbank? Chinese, I'd guess. I was at the Phoenix Gun Show at year. Walking around saw a table plied high with mint WWII web Garandicon slings. Mint and correct. Except for the small paper tag on each keeper "China" I would have bought 2-3. I came back the next day, all gone. Some Ebay dealer got them. Slowly being sold off now. "Let the buyer beware".

    I believe he told me they are Italianicon. I have about 20 of them. I got them from a man named Tom Pecina about 15 years ago before he died. Tom lived in Bellview ILL.https://www.milsurps.com/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=40

    The oiler is not US, it is Italianicon. Back in the 1980's they were selling for $25.00 and up and quite rare. So many have come into the country that today they are everywhere cheap.
