[QUOTE="David Askett, post: 9449610, member: 4727"]Thank you. Yes, I will remove the ugly plexi and give it a careful clean but, otherwise, will leave it as-is. I purchased it recently at a local farm auction. Came out of an old barn. I paid $22 Canadian for it, and it’s filled with horse tack! It was the only military item at the sale. Found an interesting sketch of another assistant surgeon’s tent in Crimea, that shows a similar trunk in the foreground on the left, as part of the furnishings: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/16tWO7a.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
