I recently picked this up in Ypres on a trip to WWI battle fields. Can someone tell me about the casing? Thank you, Vaughn IMG_0686.jpgIMG_0687.jpgIMG_0688.jpg
 
The case was made by the 'The Gramophone Company Ltd', perhaps better known as 'His Master's voice'/'HMV'. Latterly became EMI.

It certainly looks like a C broad arrow which would mean Canadian Govt ownership / acceptance. What is the manufacturer mark ?
