Maine-iac Posted May 10, 2024 Report Share Posted May 10, 2024 And like that, it's finished! I suppose one minor question would be, what would have been packed into the small corner compartment of the case? A small cleaning kit seems appropriate, but past that, there's not much space available for parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68coupe Posted May 10, 2024 Report Share Posted May 10, 2024 Maine-iac, The case looks fabulous! I really like your porch. Is it to the home, or your workshop? V/R Karl, 68coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V/R Karl, 68coupe The porch (featuring spouse) belongs to our 1890s home that's in an... Ongoing state of renovation. The workshop currently has a replica WW1 biplane sitting in it! Lol.

HappyTrigger Posted June 14, 2024 Report Share Posted June 14, 2024 I too am nearing the end of my construction, but I am hung up on original color- would anyone have an idea what color the Home guard chest were? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgeport28A1 Posted June 14, 2024 Report Share Posted June 14, 2024 (edited) When I owned my original British case. The original color appears OD Green, the next color paint visible is a flat grey and the top color was a flat black. There was lock up stowage lettering in red paint under the flat black paint.

HappyTrigger Posted June 16, 2024 Report Share Posted June 16, 2024 Yes, I have seen them in gray, I am pulled in that direction - it seems the Ministry changed colors specs in ‘42 and most got a repaint to OD green. I assume the stowage lettering would “Escortable Stores” similar to the British sniper rifles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
