202 Base Workshop
Does anyone know the location of 202 Base Workshop, please? I have recently purchased an empty Bren Transit Chest requiring complete restoration and on the outside was a cardboard label indicating the weapon was in long term storage at 202 Base Workshop. It could, perhaps, be in Canada because there was a feint outline of a maple leaf on the box or though I'm not sure if this is a genuine marking or could be in the U.K.??? Thank-you for any help

Thanks Jim. that ties in with it being Canadian. Although I'm not a wood expert, the wood that it appears to be made of would appear to be a type of Pine or similar, quite soft, rather than a traditional English hardwood.

That's possible. Hard to say unless you strip the paint off for a look though.

The colour of the interior is............ Let me put it another way....... Have you ever tried to ascertain the actual silver colour of the steel wheels for Mini's, made by Dunlop or Rostyle? It all depends on what silver paint was available that day, or week or month. The colour of the insides varied from chest to chest and how they'd aged and the amount of heat, cold and grease had got to them.
