A VERY, very interesting weapon case

[Brit plumber]

The actual fibre glass box is nothing special. These were demandable items through the stores system as a toolbox, we (Front line RAF Sqn) used these as line toolkits. Our bxes were green and had black handles (And I'm sure they were identical handle to that design so is probably original).

I've a fealing there is a MOD ofice who you go to with the tools you want in your kit, and they have all the tools to cut the black foam out to the correct shape. I would imagine thats whats happened here, custom made for a special ops team. One thing I'm sure is, its deffinatly Brit military.

p.s. I havnt seen these kits in use for about 10 years.

Brilliant. Thanks for that, I've been wanting to find out the origin of the box.

From the limited information I've got the fact that box is nothing special is an indicator of authenticity, a lot of special ops equipment of the 1980's era being produced in house by the unit armourers.

Still, I would expect the box to originate inside the MOD supply chain and now I know it did
