HONOURED MEMBER RIP
Howdy Team,
Any one know what a C199 carried? It was a navy store of some sort.
Thanks, Ozzi.

C199 is missing from the Consolidated List. Sometimes (rarely) the internals of a box are given a number that uses the prefix/sytem of box numbering. I think this might be an example. What is the diameter of the holes and the outside dimensions? It looks like it is for holding cartridges. The brass plates are unusual for an internal fitting though.
 
G-Day LCPLCOMBAT, sorry but the pic was sent to me from a friend who was told it was something to do with 25pdr ammo (I don't think so)! My friend only has the same picture to work from, so no dimensions. Regards Ozzi.
