[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 33838, member: 29"]It's not British military. That would have MoD markings and/or a broad arrow on it, with typically a year number. And it's far too ornate, for want of a better word - we really didn't do stuff that looked that much like furniture. If it were GPO/PO - both of us worked for them! - it would have very set and standard markings, too, and we'd have recognised them. The use of No xx is also pretty common on all sorts of commercial stuff here, to indicate a variant of a standard model of a thing. I do agree about the pattern of thread discussion, it's absolutely fascinating. ;) I'm determine not to sell this thing now till I can get a clue about it - may well end up bouncing it off some UK sources, given it seems not to be a one off. I shall keep y'all posted, with huge thanks for any further ideas, or stuff that anyone comes up with![/QUOTE]
