Re: Don't know

This appears to be an oil can which is part of a cleaning kit fora military rifle. The soldiers rifle needs regular cleaning and oiling due to operating naturally harsh enviorment. There was probably another container that held the cleaning solvent. Some cleaning kits contain a single container that is divided into two separate halves, each with it's own spout and cap. Hope this helps, Two Dogs
