    Default Nearly Complete ARM REPAIR CHEST. M.17 FOR U.S. M17. RIFLES

    I've updated the below link: a photo of the most complete chest I've seen thus far:

    Most of the parts are marked "Ord Dept."

    The saw is mounted on the underside of the lid. I've managed to find a complete saw with handle and another handle mounting the wrong blade. I took a free saw from Menards for the blade. I found the handle with the wrong blade first so may not complete that effort.

    The screwdriver with the multiple bits is also out there - found that. The Sperm Oil cans I've not found. The envelops I have - they were in the chest I found.

    Sir: thank you for the insight and information. I'm always looking for new information/photos of the 1917 chest, especially items (the saw) which I have nothing on as of yet. If you can, please post or PM photos or information that you have of anything. I'm still compiling and collecting for not only my personal chest but to hopefully help out others along the way. Even information/sizes/text on your envelopes would help (I'm still missing 3x), including what the "Ord. Dept." marking/stamp may look like on the tools. I just found the multiple bit tool but haven't added the photos yet.
