I had one once exactly like the one on the far left. I thought it was just a cheapo aftermarket, and gave it away with a carbine I sold. Did I get rid of a treasure? Must be smaller for the thicker German icon

slings.

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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

I shows absolutely no signs of a rebuild and is thought to be original. The oiler is an SW on the lid with a circle.

, the far left oiler in your second picture looks like the one for a sewing machine. This one came with the tool kit for a heavy duty double needle machine I bought a few years ago. Same dimensions as a USGI WWII era oiler but with thicker walls and no rod attached to the cap.

The one on the left looks like the European ones I saw back in the 1980's. They had rounded bottoms. I think they came in from Holland, but not sure.

The West German icon

is unique. One day I will dig them out and post a picture.

Then it must be that rare Singer oiler? I should look harder for a B code on the bottom.

I know, bad joke.

Might there be a photo of the "Yankee Hill Machine" that could be posted? Thanks, John

Holy moly Charlie, this is a three year old thread brought back from the near dead. But nothing new has changed in oilers during that time.

I have only seen a few of these. And for some reason just never picked one up. Lunkhead I guess. I remember when I first saw one I thought it was fake.

For those who haven't seen one, here is a photo (of a photo) of the oiler.
