Canadian Sub Machine Gun C1 cleaning kit

[Lee Enfield]

When Canada chopped up it's C1's, would they likely have sold off the chests as surplus or destroyed the chests?

I don't believe that they built many chests - possibly this was for the tool room guns??

I note that the designation is "C.A.L. 9mm Carbine - Long Branch", which leads me to believe that this may well have (originally) had nothing to do with C1 `Sterling`SMG.

A friend has/had a very early C1 SMG "new in box" and it is in a cardboard box...
