Soviet Russian North Vietnamese Army Viet Cong AK-47 SKS K44 Oiler W H

Neat little Soviet USSR oil and solvent bottle embossed with Cyrillic characters. As you know the NVA VC used mostly ChiCom made Type 56 – AK-47 assault rifles. They also received hundreds of thousands from the USSR. This bottle was carried in the ChiCom chestpouch. Every solider was issued some kind of oil bottle as weapons maintenance was required in the hot wet humid climate of Viet Nam. When the oil and solvent ran out many weapons rusted. You can see one of these two spout oil bottles next to the ChiCom AK Chestpouch.
