Snail drum case

Over the years I have bought a lot of items from D &B, indeed I have just received a box full of Thompson magazines from them, my other passion. I can confirm they have in the past sold reproduction transit chests. Over the years they have had a few Thompson transit chests which they list as original, which were not! They also have an overpriced Thompson Kahr C drum on their website for over a year now, which incorrectly listed as a 1920's original, until I pointed out to them that was not the case.

Yesterday, before I read this post, I also asked Barry at D&B if the chest was an original, he says it is, but from previous experience of D&B, I would like more definitive proof. I have asked them to send me some photos of the markings on the drums and loader, which are listed both with the chest and also separately, all selling individually for £1,495.
Stay safe
