I have re-learnt an old lesson with this case, always turn them over rather than walking past things you think are familiar! Luckily I did turn it over, mostly out of idle curiosity and was surprised to see Dutch base markings and a late date 1935. I have not come across a Dutch Pom-Pom case before. I am surprised at the date, 1935 does seem late for this weapon but I guess the gun may have still been in service as part of fortress defences, I could not find a reference to the Dutch using tanks such as the Renault FT17. Glad to be educated!
