Hi,

I have a chance to buy a Bren transit chest for a fairly reasonable price. I haven't seen any pictures - the buyer has given me the following description:

"it's painted different shades of matt brown where it has been patch painted over the years.

on the hinge side stencilled in black it says:-

SPARES C1 - BE

512769 | 28 OF 32

QTY 2

on on end stencilled in white:-

WT 75 ??

on front stencilled in black:-

59 BN GARDE
CAS RUC QUOI.M.159
TOURNAI 30K

A500.00.86231
CHEST BREN"

Postwar Frenchicon use? Is the brown paint likely to be Britishicon? All advice on what to look out for when buying a transit chest gratefully accepted.

Cheers,

Mark
