Hi - Maggie, welcome to GMIC. In all honesty I don't think your chest has any great rarity value. The plaque that was inside sounds like a Bed no. for use

when in Camp. Some Regts. have very fancy designs. He may have been promoted or, perhaps it just changed hands several times.

Why not repaint it for use - but outline the name and paint around-it ? There is help at the top of the page to explain how to post pictures.

Please let me know if I can be of any assistance. Mervyn
