I got this as a gift from my wife and kids on Fathers Day.

I just shoved it in my office until I had a chance to do something with it and I just cleaned the office up today and it's time to make a plan.

as far as I can tell it only locks using a cable or wire, something you're supposed to cut to open it. Maybe just a one use box or something, I'm not sure. the colouring is kind of an olive brown, where it's still there. Some markings have been painted over, and there's a lot of rust.

I think I'd like to sand it down a bit, get rid of the nasty rusty bits, and just paint some nice flat olive green on it. But if I do that what do I stencil on it? Or should I choose a different colour other than the green?

I figured what I need to do is figure out what it is supposed to hold.

It just so happens that this size really appears to be a close fit for four 81mm mortar rounds as well.

They also were placed in two, two tube plastic carry alls, complete with slings, that fit snuggly inside this metal ammo box.

Have one about identical, marked mortar rounds. Sounds like a case of either or. Lot of that stuff comes from the British Army training at Suffield.
