Nice WEC with unrusted steel cap! A rare find.
BTW: here is a three-step "cheat sheet' to ID Enfield oiler types/models.

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

Thank you,
FlightRN/GunBoards (
USA) 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.
