MHillyard Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Picked this up cheap a few weeks back now. Just wondered weather it was part of a specific vehicle tool kit or was just a generic workshop jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Strikes me that stores reference code does not fit in with the normal codifications of their various kinds used by any of the three services. Although it has a "pheon" arrow this is by no means an indication of military use, merely Government property that is an "attractive" item (ie likely to get stolen). So it might for instance have been a Ministry of Transport tool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I knew I had come across this system before buried in one of my articles! Ministry of Transport eg 3 S 41008 which is a ‘D’ shackle with a narrow jaw. Presumably an alternative way of writing 3/STORES/41008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
