Oil cans

Who's oilers were these? It seems that I remember that the shape was for Mausers, but the script is puzzling me.

I wonder if anybody is collecting oil cans? People seem to collect everything these days! Then when they croak they have a big yard sale and us Vultures descend and buy bargains we haven't seen in years! :chuckles: Life sure is neat sometimes! Bill ;mywink;

People collect anything. A couple of years ago, in an "antique" store, I saw a condom collection for sale......(NIB) I just wondered who you would show it to.

I have a small collection of the oil cans. I just think that they are nifty...

I collected until I had all known (to me) versions of the Romanian made. Then I stopped. Since then, I have sold my only Romanian MN, but I kept the oil cans.
