The two 'C's is an early Canadian Cartridge Company stamp.

The 'EQO' is a letter string that appears on Canadian cases and is date ascending. The reason for code is not known, but might be some form of Lotting.

Thank you Tim, thats a great help, after i posted this i remembered that i had another case with the same C's on it but with another three letter set so that makes sense now.
Best regards Weasel
