WW2 manufacture M1A1 Thompson Submachine Gun Oilers (4) in 1950’s depot repackaging (long term storage) in perfect un-issued condition. They are in a foil type wrapper with printing on the front which is starting to come apart but still can be read – OILER, SUBMAHINE GUN CAL .45 M2 and then all sorts of production and part number information but ink stamped by hand Dec 1953. These are the round shaped oilers which were designed and issued in the middle of WW2 with the start of the M1 / M1A1 Model Thompson’s, the earlier oilers being a rectangular shape for the 1928 Model. They have been double shrink wrapped to keep them from being worn any further.
