PPCo 1918 scope pouch - with snipers name on it

[Surpmil]

It would be very unlikely for a sniper to put his name and address on any part of his equipment in wartime. Much more likely that the said Mr. McCoull was using the case to hold some other telescope or even something quite unrelated to its original purpose.

It is certainly very unusual to see a WWI issue case for the No.3(T) however, and unless Mr. McCoull owned it much later in life, perhaps after WWII, it does beg the question of whether all the No3(T) rifles were in fact retained for future use after WWI?

Otherwise, how would such a case be in private hands before the post-WWII disposals?
