The sellers of the closeout Repros promised snap caps and cases. Guns Unlimited came through on their promise and sent both a few weeks after they sent my gun. Oil bottles were once sold by Don Shrum at Cape Outfitters. I bought my oil bottle from Mrs. Shrum at the first PGCA meeting in Nashville. The rods are not Repro parts but are probably available from Jeff's Outfitters ($39.95, two piece rosewood) and others. Parker-Hale rods are nice in Repro cases also.

It would be nice to know who supplied the cleaning sets? Maybe they still have some or still offer them? May have been Emembi who made the cases in Italy??? I own one set of rods 20ga. with brush set and about three oil bottles. Cleaning sets are scarce at best. They are not marked and you will have to know exactly what they look like to I.D. them. Ebay sells lots of misl. unknown stuff. I still need owner books for a couple of my sets. thanks all kenny graft SXS ohio....(-:

One of my 20 ga Repros came with oil can and cleaning rids. Haven't used either of them. But they do look nice in the leather case!

About the time the Parker Repro "blowouts" were occurring and the remaining inventory was being sold off by various dealers, a very small but quite high end shop in mid-town Manhattan called Crossroads of Sport offered rosewood ($45) or real ebony ($70) cleaning rods, and square oil cans ($45) and round screw-top.grease pots for $40. I purchased several oil cans and at least 2 grease pots from them; they were the real deal marked "England" or "Made in England" on the bottom. When his supply ran out, I called him to ask about resupply. He said he wasn't going to do it; you had to order a minimum lot of 24 at a time with no discount for multiple lots. Then the shipping from the UK killed the deal; a real downer as the guy (I forget his name) went out of business about a year and a half later. Good quality stuff that you pay an arm and a leg for anymore; its a shame. I believe Marvin Huey still carries them.
