Mauserol

Hello,
Just received this interesting MAUSEROL bottle. It still contains the original oil. Newer seen before this kind of Mauser accessory.
An interesting add-on for the Mauser collection.
Cheers,
Mauro

Mauro,

A very intriguing accessory. I presume here that it was a commercial item, do you know from what era it dates? Was it a general retail item, or was it supplied with some particular Mauser firearm? Any guess as to what particular kind of oil it might be? weight?

Hi Dwight,
This oil bottle is commercial as dimostrated by the "Gun-Oil" translation several languages. I can imagine that it was a general retail item but I have no idea about the era.
I hope some Luger forum friends can add some more information about this item.
Ciao
Mauro

Hi Mauro,

Nice. So it's you who bought it. I found it interesting enough to keep an eye on the auction

Hi Gerben,
I bought it for my Mauser Parabellum collection.
Any idea about the era?
Cheers,
Mauro

Mauro,

My gut feeling says early 1930s, but could very well be earlier.

Any markings on the tin itself?

Gerben,
Thank you.
No markings on the tin.
Cheers,
Mauro
