Larry,

Done a search with google pictures , found something similar that was described as on board KM minesweepers used to hold the charges that were used to cut the cables of sea mines?

It does have a rather good water tight seal so a possibility?

I don't think it is ground forces pioneers as there is normally a lot of these such things available in collections etc, if it were I would have thought it better known?

Thank you for the links.

Cheers

I have not seen one of these before. Are you planning on refurbishing it?

[Jock Auld]

I will leave as is as I have nothing to compair it to.

How heavy are the rust spots?

[Jock Auld]

They're not bad, it was used as a tool box. I might put a bit of WD40 on it but generally just leave it be.
