    Thanks for the information, Jim. When it was part of the Vickers grip, were the cores also oilers/oil containers or has it since been made into a oiler from parts salvaged from a vickers gun? I have been scratching my head a long time over this item.

    Look at the picture of the back plate and grips. The inside of the wood is that thing...holding it like a bolt.
