Box# 4

No distinguishing marks easily seen on this one.

This chest seem to be a later production version- the label on the interior lid is dated 1975, all the others say 1971. The foam is also somewhat different on this example- it's slightly more coarse and seems to have a little less give than the others. And lastly, the handles are a painted canvas sort of material which seem much sturdier.

Box#6

Interesting box which was painted a bright blue at one point. The Interior is missing the label and one of the wooden restraining portions is cracked in two.

One sticker clearly shows the rifle serial number as T32629.

Another sticker on the lid is painted over and shows the same rifle serial number and also shows a sight serial number- very hard to discern what it is- I think the serial number is 3 digits but might be 4. I think I can make out '260'.

T Box#1

A somewhat sad box with interesting barely visible markings and a curious 'modifcation' to the interior label.
