Well, the auction closed today. Final bid on this oiler was $192.00 If the buyer had only done a search on eBAY for similar items he could have gotten the same thing for under $20. Of course it would be an SKS oiler and not a real Krag pocket oiler.

Research, research, research!

I believe the Marines and sailors were still using the straight-pull Lee Enfield at Peking.
