I recently bought these on eBay. I wanted them to put bits and pieces in thinking they were the same size as tobacco tins, but they aren't they're much smaller. Anyway, there seem to be a lot of them on eBay at the moment and I therefore wondered whether they really do date from WWII. If they do, what percussion caps were they for? And, again, if they are original, is the colour authentic SCC-15? They don't seem to have been used and the stencilling is incomplete, so they could have come from a large stock of unused tins, but, equally, they might have been made in India earlier this year. I've no idea - has anyone on here?
