The Reinigungsgerät 34 (Rg 34) was officially introduced in the German army on 4 September 1934. It was the general-issue barrel cleaning kit for rifles, pistols, submachine guns and machine guns of roughly 7.9–9 mm calibre, including the Karabiner 98k. The kit comprised a case, cleaning chain, oiler, oiling brush, cleaning brush, takedown tool (Hülsenkopfwischer) and cleaning strings. The takedown tool was the one part meant only for the K98. The design was patented by Gustav Appel in 1933, and changed little during the war apart from simplification of manufacture and materials. Several firms made the kits. Collectors identify them by letter codes and year stamps on the case. Braunschweigische Blechwarenfabrik was assigned the code "arr" in 1940. At the end of 1944 it changed to "rco". Variants are told apart by Waffenamt stamps, case finish, the oiler and the chain. Oilers run from machined steel through simplified machined and pressed steel to phenolic. Late-war tins also appear in dark yellow (tan) as well as dark green and grey. Post-war German and export kits closely resemble wartime ones.
