the pattern on the lid normally has dicing patterns in 2 directions that cross each other. looks like a repro item. no original.
Ben is correct..this is NOT an original rod IMO. You will also notice the brass rod is jointed. It is screwed into the stub projecting from the grease barrel.
I have mentioned this many times before but since it's come up..I will do so again. The Germans cannot have manufactured ANY rod with a screwed in shaft. Any shaft manufactured this way will unscrew itself and simply slide right out the end of the cleaning rod sleeve and be lost.
