Some interesting postwar RG34 and RG53 cleaning kits

The post war tobacco tin kits were pretty much the same as the war time ones. Sometimes the metal stamping is different.
Many mauser books will show an example.

The biggest change was the plastic oiler. The original was metal. Is there a date stamped inside the lower lid where the cleaning cloths were kept, most do.

After these they went to the plastic flip top box.

The small kit is new to me. Quite nice though I must admit.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help
