Anyone have a repro oil bottle?

[SXS OHIO]

I have noted some variation in snap caps logo. Some not as pronounced and lighter stampings, some have different type script as I remember. I will look at my collection when I return home. Oil bottles have good heavy stampings on the two or three I own. They are very scarce items and the ones I own came with guns. I would say original Emembi supplied, Italy mnf. We need to see examples of the knock offs. I think my A1 special has all the accessories in its maker case...will look at that too. I think a correct new mnf. oiler and rod set would do well!

Another data point - my 28 gauge DHE, purchased new from Abercrombie & Fitch in Buckhead, GA, came with snap caps but no oil bottle or cleaning rod. It was a Christmas present from my wife.

Later,

Just so there's no confusion, Kenny......The oil bottles and snap caps that Emmebi furnished with Parker Reproductions were supplied to them by Parker Hale in England. This information came directly from Aimo Metelli of Emmebi.
