British Enfield brass oil bottle made by who & when?

[rrickoshae]

hello (again), this is a standard brass oil bottle but can anyone tell me who the maker is and how to date it (if that is possible)

The base is stamped with the broad arrow, EFD, a crown, C5 and E. The cap is stamped 35

many thanks

Dave

It's a British made oiler, EFD is Enfield Smalls Arms factory. From memory the C5 & E would be the Enfield inspectors stamp.
