Hi Simon, Welcome to the forum! F.A.R.11. stands for Field Artillerie Regiment. No. 11. H.R.5 probably Hussar Regiment, No 5. B.A. followed by a Roman numeral, for Bekleidungs-Abteilung, there were 21 of these clothing and equipment depots for the different Army Corps. The markings on the outside look like Reichswehr period marks and someone else will have to interpret them for you. I hope this helps. Regards, Norm
