I was right it is a 'detailed' KVK on the box lid, K&Q boxes 9 times out of ten are marked inside and have this pattern on the lid (observation not a fact based on anything)
There however variations in the base.......just to be a spotter !
Very nice as usual Allan,
Speak to you soon on phone mate,

That's a real beauty, Allan.
I wish mine was that nice. Mine is slightly worn and has lost
a good bit of it's finish. It sits on a white base, however.

I love the white base Ken is the KVK stencil the same as Allan's as I suspect it would be.
Notice the type set varies just to a tiny degree.........I love these boxes ! (ie for one instance the K&L are more close than Allans)
It means nothing, I just enjoy the tiny differences.........sad eh !
Kind regards,

Here is a picture of the case lid. It has much wear as you can see
and not a pretty sight. I would say it is similar to that of Allans'.

No pic yet Ken my friend, but I deem yours and Georges just that bit earlier than that perhaps of Allan's, awards not relevant ie zinc or other at this point without going into detail etc etc.
The reason: On most of all the earlier boxes there is a common trait of the white 'frame' around the base.......on EK's as indeed KVK's of a later date this is devoid and the base is either plain or has an inner incuse 'frame' on the base, the base is flat in this case normally and the raised domeish base devoid of any fancy markings. Or flat with the border frame on the 'earlier' types, sometimes domed also (50/50). The point is that the outer stencil is not the pointer to determine if the WHOLE box is earlier or not, there is a combination of points to consider. And boxes are mix matched.
Allan's is late war, George's and yours Ken mid to 'early' ish war made but of course issue overlapped.
Most of these boxes are by KB, those of D&B differ to a degree and can be spotted. It depends who the contractor was to whom........and at this point I don't want to divulge to much.(you'll have to wait for the book
and forum article)
Kind regards,
Marcus

Thanks for the "free" education on the casses.
KVKs and their cases have not been of great interest to me,
although I seem to have accumulated quite a few. I suppose
I should make an effort to learn more about them. You must
have much knowledge of these.
