Artists Rifles Posted 4 May , 2021 Author Share Posted 4 May , 2021 Thank you for answering this time old question of mine. When I searched I couldn't find this chap. I have had this metal box since I was 8 years old when we moved house and I found it in the loft. As a child I kept various important things in it, including my match box toy cars and action men.
