    Thanks for the info on the manufacturer. I will pull the box and check the end for marks and post up a photo.

    Does any one know what the lightly tacked on bracket against the back wall of the box was designed for?

    I would hazard a guess at a space for 37 pattern slings to accompany the rifles.

    That's a great piece of Enfield memorabilia!

    I don’t think it was for slings.
    I had another one of these chests a long time ago, as I recall, it had the same bracket.
    Bayonets?
