PIAT bomb box

Here's the pics i promised earlier of the PIAT round box.
After a good clean to get rid of the crud, it came up nice.
Dead chuffed to get a hold of it, not least in this condition.
All the best

I think thats a different box Blackwatch. What are the stampings in the lid? The original box is a B166 mk2

I've got the same c 224, dated 5/43. I've also seen wooden boxes for 2 carriers, approx the same measure of the b166 MK2 but dated 1947

Hi Blackwatch
Nice box. Never seen an early one. It seems low in height, did the carriers inside lay on their sides?
(Nice website you have by the way. Keep up the good work!)
