I agree Rob, the parts we all treasure are too hard to find to risk having them lost on a whim.

I'm not convinced that is an original catch though.

The real question is, is the box itself genuine?

Default spare parts box

Hi,
this is our original box with catch. As you can see the bottom rotted away. We found very similar catch which after a little bit of work looks the part.
We cannot find the box now but when we do I will post dimensions or tell someone from our group to take measurements of our replica box on the gun. (the gun is stored now 50km from where I live)
Also another look at the box in museum sent to me by Marc.
