PLEWS Grease Gun?
Are there any WWII correct lever-type PLEWS grease guns?

Not that I know of, Luke. I've had an Alemite and a Lincoln but no other lever guns. Plews made oilers, though. The Plews 1105 is in the NAF catalog as a R13-O-1400 and the Plews 1125 is a R13-O-1470.

Well crud! I bought one over the weekend. It's missing the spout, or whatever it's called. But it had the "feel" of WWII. If I can ever remember, I'll post a picture.

I've got not idea. What I think was there is a broken flexible rubber hose. As I'm sure you are aware, they are not difficult to change.DJ's Jeeps wrote: ↑Wed Nov 08, 2017 4:51 amWhat’s the tip look like I have a few strange ones extra

What is really important is whether or not the PLEWS I have shares the same thread cut with the tips you have.

Re: PLEWS Grease Gun?
I will post a pic in a day or two. I wonder if the needle-equipped guns you found were/are to fill recoil mechanisms?DJ's Jeeps wrote: ↑Wed Nov 08, 2017 6:49 amI have some others I have not listed yet! Anyway love to see pictures to see what you have and compare.

Here's a photo of somebody's PLEWS/GEM oiler, and a link to a possible alternative "ARO" grease gun;

Here is my Plews oiler that bears a close resemblance to the Plews oiler (R13-O-1400) shown on the page of the Navy Class 13 catalog that Wingnutt scanned some time back.
