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. PXL_20240510_163916419.thumb.jpg.72733ab2ea9973ca6eb38a4a3d79b2f6.jpgPXL_20240510_163938996.thumb.jpg.d00a98a2100c3549dc1c7688ddc83f7a.jpg

Maine-iac, The case looks fabulous! I really like your porch. Is it to the home, or your workshop?

V/R Karl, 68coupe

The porch (featuring spouse) belongs to our 1890s home that's in an... Ongoing state of renovation. PXL_20240430_120353208.thumb.jpg.c341454f6e50c1cd5b948ad77082430e.jpg The workshop currently has a replica WW1 biplane sitting in it! Lol.

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.

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
