Mr. Moore,
If it's not too much to ask, could you possibly provide the dimensions of the lable with the bar-code in the 7th photo?
Thanks in advance!

Ummmm...
Hmmm, I had assumed since you posted these pics originally that the chest was yours. If I'm mistaken, my appologies. I'm looking for the dimensions for the sticker shown on the side of the chest in photo DSC01732-1 that shows the NSN of the L42 and the serial number of the rifle in both bar code and alpha-numeric formats, followed by a "receipt number" - whatever that is! If you happen to know the dimensions it would be a huge help.
Cheers
A huge help for what purpose?
If to make new, then I'm not particularly interested in providing dimensions.
The case and rifle are still in my collection.

The painted on markings are a little bit different than most:

ETA: added Patrick Chadwick's thread link for more particulars, including comments by Roger Payne:
L42A1 - genuine?
I can't read the German, has that sold yet or still going?
How much does the IWS weigh?
The L42A1 D71 markings are a local addition by someone with a vivid imagination. What a complete load of bollo....., er......... er........., rubbish. Even the most loopy or dozy storeman wouldn't do that. Some sellers think we're muffins! Just my opinion in my limited experience. I've never seen a serial number on a butt. Butt number, yes, but even the dopiest Arms storeman and Orderly Officer doing the weekly serial number arms check will know that if he looks hard, he'll find the master number on the body.
