I have reviewed the replies and re-examined the chests. I have tallied my expenses in relation to the auction prices I paid and have come to the following calculations.

Cletrac can get 2 boxes with rope handles at $20.00 each.

Geoff Winnington-Ball can get 2 boxes with web handles at $20.00 each.

Rob Love of Shilo, Manitoba can get the packing slip for $5.00 (Which I will mail out to you)

I can deliver or have Clive (Service Pub) pick up and store the chests.

Please Email me at boguydi@videotron.ca to finalyze these transactions if all is satisfactory.

I do hope that this is helpful to some of you collectors.

Guy

PS: I hope that this type of transaction does not conflict with your site policies.

Guy, that's ok, but I'd like a photocopy of that packing slip please?

BTW, I own MAPLE LEAF UP, and no, there's no problem with advertising this type of "merchandise" on MLU. As you can gather, the interest is always there.

I'll email you presently for payment arrangements, and Clive for transportation & storage.

Thanks!

Geoff (aka 'Jif')

Guy, I'll send you a cheque tomorrow. You can send mine freight collect on the bus. That's as cheap a method as any and we don't have to calculate shipping costs. I'll enclose the shipping address with the cheque. I'd like a photocopy of the paperwork too.
Thanks,
Dave

To add grist to the mill, the construction method of those chests and the hardware are 100% identical to CNo.7 .22 rifle chests, and pretty close to No.4(T) sniper rifle chests. The screws will be straight slot, not Robertson. If you look at a bottom corner (lower left I think), there will be a stamped marking. It will be MCV or such. There is another marking for a company in Haileybury, Ontario. Some rifle chests have two markings; the maker and a gratuitous LB for Long Branch. We've gone around the block a few times on this subject with the No.4 Lee Enfield forums I haunt.

If someone needs to rebuild or duplicate a chest, I have leftover hardware from a salvage job I did ...
