    Nice WEC with unrusted steel cap! A rare find.

    BTW: here is a three-step "cheat sheet' to ID Enfield oiler types/models.

    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. Brian Dick ...

    UPDATE 2021-02-09

    Nigel Utting (Bailiwick of Jersey, Channel Islands, British Isles) has been busy. First, he picked up an ultra-rare, never-before-reported, Nobel Explosives Company marked oiler (SEE Oilers: Englandicon https://enfield-stuff.com/Pages/3-oi...ers_ENG-2.html ); shortly thereafter he unearthed some rare South African Small Arms Committee minutes of Jan 1942 and June 1942 that outline orders placed and received for oilers from AECO – a documented link to “Associated Engs” – as well as several other previously unknown South African manufacturers of oilers. (see Oilers: South Africa https://enfield-stuff.com/Pages/3-oi...akers_ZAR.html) Thank you, Nigel!!

    Thank you, FlightRN/GunBoards (USAicon) for the picture of the previously unreported Afghan Type 04 oiler. (SEE Oilers: Afghanistan https://enfield-stuff.com/Pages/3-oi...akers_AFG.html).

    If you have an oiler with markings that are not listed, I would very much like to hear from you.

    Many thanks in advance, always learning!! No picture of Nigel's Nobel Explosives Co. so I do not know how large the "N" is. Here is an example I have that might be a Nobel?

    Thank you for the note, Lance. I should have included a link. The picture is posted on the Fast Mark Finder index. https://enfield-stuff.com/Pages/3-oi...er_oilers.html Scroll down the alphabet and it's adjacent the the Naval N for comparison.

    Alternately, one could simply admire the very nice picture you sent and admire the Nobel Explosives N therein.
