I picked up a Plessey line sight a while ago but no wooden transport box and bino case.

Well I was at a show on the weekend and was speaking with Fred from collectors source and turns out he had one and a bino case to go with it.

The box has some kind of painted stamping on it with what looks like a hatchet on it. Does anyone know what this is?

Can't help you on the markings, but I just wanted to say: How do you manage to walk with all those horseshoes up your a**?

Did you notice what the Bren plessey (which was incomplete at that) sold for on ebay last week? And now you walk onto the box as well?

strange stuff indeed, by the way the box and bino case was only 25 bucks:D

I'd love to know what these damn markings were though maybe the war museum in ottawa might know?

I took some more pics of the box see the odd C with the arrow pointing up? I know its not a c broad arrow but its close. Could this be an old canadian marking of some kind maybe before the c broad arrow?

The C/i\ dates back to the late 1800s. The style and form never changed.
The marking looks more like a British modification of the broadarrow.
