WWI or WWII BRITISH/SCOTTISH OFFICERS METAL TRAVEL TRUNK- NAMED.

A metal trunk, obviously used for valuable personal items. Difficult to age, but looking at the lettering etc., it’s probably WWII but could be earlier. Black painted tin trunk, reinforced lid and ‘japanned’ interior. The front is beautifully sign written with the officers name and home address.
‘CAPTAIN I.G. GILBERT’ 3A, DURHAM DRIVE, PORTOBELLO, EDINBURGH. SCOTLAND. There is no postcode as these were not introduced until well after WW2. It is marked with his cabin number ‘E’ and W.O.V (wanted on voyage). His initials IGG are painted on the other 3 sides of the tin box. Could be a very interesting item to research. I’ve checked 3A, Durham Drive on Google and the house still exists and is near the sea in north west Edinburgh.
It’s not a huge tin box and measures approx 30” x 20”x 20” (postage or shipping TBA)
