As far as I know the cleaning rod & oil bottle were add-ons for the DHE guns. Cape outfitters had several accessory kits (bottle, cleaning rod, mops & brushes) which they offered for years after the close out days. As I remember it they were selling these kits for $110.00 and had a tough time moving them. You did have to watch them though some of them had Parker Reproduction Stamped on the cap of the oil bottle and some didn't. I suspect they ran out of the oil bottles and added a plain bottle to try and sell the overstocked cleaning rod kits.
It took me a few years but I finally put together full sets for all of my repro's.
