 Topic: Help identify oilerPosted: May 20 2025 at 11:37am |
     
Hi I got my hands on this oiler, but only realised later it has no markings on it. Can someone perhaps help me identify it and if it is authentic seeing that it has no markings on it.

It looks like the standard SMLE oiler, similar to the one I have.
But I am not an expert on the oilers, so maybe someone else will be along with more info.

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

In one image the cap looks like steel?
If so then it was made by, Western Electrical Company. (W.E.C.)
