perhaps I should have put this under identification. Anyway, what do you make of this fuze box? Its large, 15x12x14 inches, is stamped 'Secret' in 2 places (as are the address labels) and was sent from a Canadian ordnance factory to the Proof and Experimental Establishment at Shoeburyness. The odd thing is that it only contained 12 fuzes - they must have been big ones! The lables are marked originally as 3 inch 50 cal but that has been blanked over and NC100 hand written. (I originally picked it up to store fuzes in but once filled with 'normal' fuzes, I can't lift it!). I might stick it on ebay later but its not an easy thing to gift wrap and postage might be an arm and a leg job. Dave
