I'm doing a bit of research on the Commonwealth cleaning funnels that many of us have seen. Used primarily for doing the boiling water clean out in Enfields and other arms.

I'm trying to find out who the manufacturers of them were, where they were made, time periods, different designs, etc.

I'd like to ask a favor of those of you that have them - what are the markings on them?

If there are markings, many of them will have them on the outside flat portion, centered about a centimeter down from the rim. Usually fairly small font.

For example, mine is stamped:

Alfr J Parker
Birmingham
1941

With a broad arrow right below.

Thanks in advance!
