c.JPGDoug, gunsmiths here in Berlin have told me that these oilers were supplied to DWM by a number of (small) sub-contractors. Most of them on the (German) market came back from Portugal - together with a load of holsters - some time ago. Patrick

What is your opinion on the pictured Portuguese cleaning rod? On one end of the barrel there is a circle with KK over 10 inside and another circle with the number 5 inside.
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and thanks again.

The relevant drawings (signed by GL) in Bender (Fettbüchse) are on pages 120/121. The only difference that I can discern is the small step between the ring around the cylinder and the shaft which is not in the drawing.
BUT as many of these accessories (tools etc) were made by outside workshops, slight differences are only to be expected and I´d think it almost impossible to state whether any of these items are fakes or genuine. BTW, the drawing states explicitly that the item is made of iron.
High quality brass cleaning rods were made by Mauser much later for their "commemoration" Lugers.

As a follow on: Bender only contains one photo of the grease/oiler under the caption "Portuguese Combination Oiler and Cleaning Rod" (page 437). This type of cleaning rod was almost certainly never officially issued to service units in Germany.
- I´ve never seen one with a German service stamp.
Like the Portuguese round leather strap lanyards, this is an item that is hard to associate with Germany. Maybe a number of these cleaning rods were even made in Portugal.

These are a few photos of three more Portuguese cleaning rod I believe to be original.The un-threaded ends appear to have been used as the pin-punch hammer.
Thanks again

Ed, I accept that there are differences between these rods. Most of them are quite roughly made with file marks etc. I still find it hard to pronounce which are fakes (or not). The stamp on one of your pics. looks somewhat like the Portuguese (Henry) cross. The trouble ist that there are no other stamps or acceptance marks to go by. If DWM ordered them locally for their Porrtuguese contract, they would be bound to differ from one supplier to the next. And would it even be worth faking this item? I could buy one cheaper over here than have it made.
