Good evening,
On a quick visit to a local antiques shop today, I was walking back to the car (having bought nothing) and spotted this metal box in the shop back yard amongst a pile of broken and rusty antique bits. It was their rubbish pile. Long story short, they sold me the box for £10...
I'm of the opinion its a Lewis gun magazine chest, albeit missing its internal divider?
My questions are: Could this be a first war period piece or were these boxes produced post war?
What do you think of the paint? Original?
Would any members have any images of such a box detailing original paint and usage?
I don't have a great deal of knowledge when it comes to First war boxes and chests so any info would be much appreciated.
Many thanks!
