Matching oil container for a 1926 Webley pistol would be glass?
Trying to create a historically correct cased set for a US imported Webley pistol made 1926? I doubt that there is any Webley oil imported. You would go into a hardware store here and pick up gun oil. In the 1926 I believe, like the early Webley oil, it would be in a glass corked bottle? See US gun companies going from glass to tin containers here, just like Webley. I think the oil tins came later?
Just found a hardware catalog online for 1926. Looks like both glass and tin cans were sold. The glass was smaller and cheaper, probably on its way out. Look at 3 in 1 on this page. I see very similar types for Winchester and Remington gun oil.
