Or so it say upon the lid!

A metal box, 9.25 x 6 X 2.25 inches, painted glossy black (scratched & a bit of surface rust) exterior, cream (thick, brushed on - repainted?) interior.

 

Broad arrow embossed on lid, lettering in half inch capitals, greyish.

Anyone want it?

Remember, for authenticity it only needs to contain Scissors and Eyebath (something like a small eggcup). Because everything else in the First Aid Kit was consumable, they got consumed, but somehow it always proved impossible to replace them. Because scissors and eyebath were not consumable, when the troop sergeant did a CES check, he'd call for the "Kit, First Aid, AFV, Small" and with barely a pause, he and the equipment owner would simultaneously call "Scissors and Eyebath" as the latter held the kit and the two ancillaries aloft to indicate they were present.

 

Often as not, the scissors would be any old pair of scissors, not the surgical scissors provided.
