odd cleaning kit
i found an odd cleaning kit while going thru some of my great uncle's things, its in a metal tube, one end screws off and has a sort of needle inside, the other has the cleaning tips and such. there are no markings on it, but it looks old, anyone know what it's from? when it's from? how much it's worth? http://cleaningkittube.mypicgallery.com/

It looks vaguely like a early British Army SMLE Cleaning Kit to me. It's a combination oiler and pull through that fits in a hole in the stock. It's accessed through a trap door in the butt.

Early style U.S. Model of 1903 1903A1 rifle Oiler. Plated brass. Yours is pictured with the original cleaning thong or pull through and cleaning brush. Original to WWI U.S. Model of 1917 rifles, 1903 Springfield rifles up to 1903A3 and M1 Garand rifles during the first years of WWII. 0 -
that would make sense, my great uncle had a 1903A3 in his gun cabinet (his daughter sold it before i could even check it out) [V]
