    Unknown Coat of Arms on No. 15 Transit Chest

    (Also posted in Vintage Military Gear forum--hope this is OK)

    Just bought an original No. 15 Transit Chest out of Canadaicon that has a severely damaged large paper label glued to the exterior lid, which I assume is a postwar and possibly civilian addition. The label includes this crest, which I cannot identify using Google Image Search. Anybody know what it's for?



    Based on the standard contents label inside the lid, I believe this is a 1944 chest:

    (19964) 43183* 9055 10,000 1/44 K.H.K. Gp. 8/8.

    * Probably correct, but possibly 45183

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    I don't think that's a military crest, it looks like a logo for a hunting club.

    Could be. No writing or printing is visible on what remains of the paper label.
