I am for sure going to keep it! It seems like an item hard to come by, and things from that Era are very very cool!!! Thank you guys for the guidance!
I have been trying to research a very similar old case. My dad used it as a National Guard Green Beret in the 70s and 80s but not sure where it originally came from. Any original markings on the top were painted over I think but there is a faint blue stripe over the army green on the side. Also has the holes for bolting the lid on and metal handles. I’d appreciate any insight.
