Just a point of interest. I purchased an M2 Portugese Luger rig a few years ago from a collector who said he'd owned it since it was brought into the country in the 1960's. The cleaning rod is exactly as the one shown in this thread. When I opened the "oil" can, I noted that it's about half full of grease which I think is likely original. Was the container intended to hold grease or oil? Or maybe both according to need?
