Unusual Russian Oiler Cleaning Kit?

[jleiper]

This came out of Russia. It appears to be an oiler kit with a storage compartment. It is marked with the same mark found on third models manufactured at Springfield and Ludwig Loewe.




Has anybody seen anything like it?

No but "oiler" is a fun word to say!

"Oiler... oiler... oiler!!"

New one on me, Joe. What are the over all dimensions? Could be container of some sort for an oiler & maybe a bore brush,or even to hold a few cartridges ( and is missing it's outside cloth cover/pouch) ??? Is it all brass? It's obviously missing the "cap" for the threaded opening Does the opening go to a sealed container portion of the item ? Did your source in Russia have any idea of what it does ? I would guess it's of foreign manufacture. If it was a S&W factory product, we would have seen specimens before now. Ed. (PS: Are the threads metric or SAE ? )

I will have it in my hands in about 10 days and then will know thread sizes etc. It is about 3 inches long (see attached picture)

The end compartment was likely for a threaded oiler.

A similar oiler for a Berdan rifle.
