Original Item: Design based entirely on the famous Mauser 98k Rifle cleaning kits of WW2 era these are truly excellent condition surplus Post War German Rifle Cleaning Kits for the 7.62mm G3 Rifle.
Identical to the WW2 Can but manufactured from a lighter more durable metal with two brushes with synthetic bristles, pull through chain and plastic hypodermic type oiler, complete with lower compartment for gauze, cleaning patch, etc. Two different markings are seen: one version has Rg. f. Gew. stamped inside the lid to the lower compartment. The abbreviation stands for Reinigungsgerate fur Gewehr, or Cleaning Equipment for Rifle. There is also a date. The other type is marked on the flat of the can RG 34, plus a stock number and a date. This one is particularly interesting, since it still uses the prewar designation of Reinigungsgerate 34, although the manufacture dates are in the late fifties.
Not previously offered, very limited supply only.
