Mosin Nagant oil bottle..........or not??

Things a soldier would carry other than firearms, ammo, or uniforms. Meaning equipment such as ammo pouches, bayonets, holsters, oil cans, cleaning equipment, etc.

Mosin Nagant oil bottle..........or not??

Post by Dutch Mosin » Tue Nov 01, 2011 5:00 pm

I've seen lots of Mosin Nagant oil bottles, but just can't seem to find the origin of this one.
It looks like a Mosin Nagant oil bottle, but is it one??
I found this one last weekend at a gun and militaria show in Ciney, Belgium.

All info is most welcome.

I don't know where it came from either. I found this site where a guy seems to collect a lot of oilers and he has the same question.

Thanks for the link Robert.
Next to the Mosin Nagant rifles and carbines I collect as much of the accoutrements as possible......oil bottles included.
I'll jus keep searching for the origin of this one.
Someone must know.

I've got several different, but have never seen that one.
How is Ciney these days, still as big as ever? Haven't been to that show or the one in Arlon for at least 7 years.
Got to get back over, but Not till the exchange rate improves greatly!

Thanks for your reply Sarge.
I'll just keep searching.

Ciney is still as big as ever.....maybe even bigger.
I had to skip several stands with military car parts to make sure that I could check all the other stands.
I also noticed lots of former eastern block stand holders.

I enjoyed my day though and already decided to go back next year.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Martin
