In 1906 RSAF Sparkbrook was sold to the Birmingham Small Arms Co. As the plant was less than a mile from BSA's Small Heath plant, the facility was used for general engineering work, rather than small arms production, although a few SMLE Mk I* rifles were produced there in 1906 (marked BSA SPARKBROOK).
Interestingly, a number of Great War vendor produced oilers are marked with the Sparkbrook B, which would seem to indicate that either (A) some BSA oiler inspection work was done at Sparkbrook 1914-1918, or (B) a number of vendors were producing Mk IV oilers before World War I for BSA.
Kindly note a number of samples of both types sport the B inspection mark of Sparkbrook as well as the italic B of BSA.
