Thank you for the kind words

Just needs some gun oil stains and impregnated smell now, along with a few grubby hand marks 😉

Based on @FROGSMILE's photos and comments I have added lids with leather lifting tags to the compartments and a hinged lid to the sectioned tray.  The photos show my box and the ones Frogsmile added for comparison.

That is really great mate, I’m wondering, did you start from scratch or did you begin with an existing military wooden box?

 

wonderful job, are you missing any tools? 
 

kind regards

 Thank you kindly.  It's all from scratch.  As I mentioned It's scaled from photos.  I couldn't find anyone that has one to get actual dimensions. 

I've added photos of my tools.  Some are WD, some are just old and some are new.  I'm using the Tools for Armourers list from the Equipment Regulations as a guide.

The little paper envelopes contain spare parts.

@FROGSMILE back on 15 February you mentioned the

"Armourers Supplementary Tool Kit."

Is that the name of the box or a list of the tools to go in it?  If it's a list do you have a digital copy you could send me?

Hello Harvey, I’m afraid it’s in a book, but I could perhaps photograph the pages and sent them to you if that’s okay.  I also have ‘adobe scan’ and could perhaps try that, although I’ve not used it before so it’ll be trial and error?

Nice collection of "pre-loved" tools you have there.

I have what I think is an identical spirit level to yours - Rabone No. 1393; is this a period piece,?  I never thought it of as military issue, having no broad arrow.

@FROGSMILE photographs would work just fine thank you.

It is the same as yours.  The photos show the military stamps.

Roger that.  I am on the Somme at the moment and away from my books, but will respond ASAP.
