On the cover of the Repro brochure is shown a silver oil bottle with cap stamped "Parker Reproduction". These were standard accessories with at least the high grade Repros and available by special order on the others. All Repros to my understanding came cased with Parker Reproduction stamped snap caps, as mine did in 1987 when I bought it new. I understand that sometimes the so stamped oil bottles or snap caps can be picked up.
I am not aware of any marked cleaning rods.
During the 1980's and 90's, a shooting buddy, Dave Parker, imported about 60 sterling silver square oil bottles from England stamped on the cap Parker Bros, and sold them for $45 each. He advertised them in the Double Gun Journal when it started and then later in the PP's, and it took him quite a few years to sell them. I have one if anybody needs photos, and should have bought more. I have not seen one publicly available in years.
