WW1 era rifle oiler. I believe they were for British Enfield's.

Does it have any marks on the end?

Just for general information. Oilers like that are also used by the US. The Carbine sling oiler looked just like what you have.


This is how the oiler was used to hold the sling on a M1 Carbine, WWII era.


These are US M1 Carbine sling oilers.


This oiler is for the US Thompson Sub Machine gun. Don't know if there is a size difference. The M1 Garand also had an oiler in the butt stock, which at first were metal, and much longer than the Carbine oiler. Later they use plastic oilers, with oil on one end and cleaning jags etc. in the other.

I'm glad you said the thing came from your fathers toolbox because I immediately
thought of one of those cocaine spoons some carried around in the 80's. Geeeeze
And to think I own an Enfield rifle (minus the oilier)
