This is just the thing if you have a suitable cased set and it looks like the seller is a BSA fan too!

I'm not a shotgun man but am guessing the can dates from between the wars or could it be earlier?

Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.
LOL John. It's not really a lubricant oil. more of a rust preventer for tropical climes or long term storage in Wild and wet West coast Scotland.
I used to use it on my wildfowling guns when I couldn.t get hold of pure lanolin to protect against salt spray. ACF 50 is better stuff for storing items nowadays
Possibly a complimentary accessory to a cased pair of Webley Mk1s from Malaysia? That's the only airgun use I can think for it.
Here you go John, a stunning more modern cased gun showing the original tin of Rangoon with others if you read the description, as stated it is a preserving oil, but is often in sets of both rifles and shotguns as you mentioned when I did an image search. I can imagine anyone heading abroad or buying from the Army and Navy stores back in the day would have some for tropical or cold climes on hand, and a chap to apply it

That Holland & Holland gun is probably the best I’ve seen to this day! What an incredible master piece.
Collection: vintage air pistols & air rifles / vintage air gun accessories
Facebook groups: vintage air guns 1. Webley, 2 BSA, 3. Haenel, 4. Weihrauch, 5. Diana
it is very nice
Thanks All,
I did say I knew next to nothing on such matters!
It does look like a nice period accessory though and just the thing to keep with a cased Webley if you don't have an original Webley oil can.
Kind Regards,
John
