Title: Early Krag pocket oiler?
Post by Robert_L on Feb 12^th, 2012 at 4:24pm

Anyone want to give me a sanity check on this eBAY listing?� This looks like an SKS oiler probably out of Yugoslavia, to me.

Item number: 120858308818

I checked Mr. Otoupalik's web site and sure enough he has one listed there as a Krag oiler but someone's mistaken.� If I'm wrong I stand to be corrected. What say you authorities?

You would be correct. The great bulk of those are Yugoslavian. They copied it from a German design and every once in a while a German one appears.

The Krag pocket oiler is silver in color and has a dip stick.

The "refill" can Mook had is another story altogether. Those, unlike the pocket oiler, can be found.

Well, the auction closed today. Final bid on this oiler was $192.00 If the buyer had only done a search on eBAY for similar items he could have gotten the same thing for under $20. Of course it would be an SKS oiler and not a real Krag pocket oiler.

Research, research, research!
