	From the "Report of the Chief of Ordnance", published 1897: (note - The 1,000 "black enameled" trial covers would be a great rarity)!

	More on the Oiler: (Hmmm ... "cosmoline oil", probably a good preservative, but, not a great lubricant).

	More from June, 1897. (There is a lot of redundancy within an Annual Report, as well as, from year to year):

	Here is a picture I posted under "Ammuntion", why there I don't know. Just wanted to show an actual oiler beside a cartridge for those that don't have an oiler for comparison since it can go in a cartridge belt. (You need to *Login* to view media files and links)
