Saw this on another board. Just thought I'd pass it along.

"These cases are beefier than the standard Pelican case. The handle and spring loaded bracket (so it stays folded in tight for stacking purposes) are steel. There two latches each have padlock eyes. The cases are all olive drab color. These are air and water tight storage shipping containers.
There is a metal pressure relief valve on each case. Most of the cases still have the closed cell foam cut out for the night vision goggles.Cases have pronounced external ribs to enable them to interlock when stacked.
External Dimensions:
16.375 x 12 x 6.25

Internal Dimensions:
16.0 x 9.75 x 5.4

These are a perfect size for tools, camping gear, recovery gear, pistols, fishing gear, first aid, etc.
Again these are more ruggedly built than the commercially available cases from Expedition Exchange
and others. These cases are slightly smaller than a commercially available Pelican 1500. That said these are used military surplus and have been stored out doors. Many have numbers stenciled on, some have minor surface rust on the metal handle. Expect scuff marks and general signs of use.

Pricing:
1 case $40
2 cases $75
3 cases $100"

I purhcased some a few weeks back from him. For the price they are not bad, but 2 of the 3 I got were fairly rusty. Not a big deal, but keep that in mind. Personally I prefer my storm case over these hands down. But again for the price they are hard to pass up.

I am the person who has these. I did not post these on this board because of the rule that if you have 10 or more of something you are a commercial vendor ,which I am not.
These are used Marine Corp night vision goggle cases and generally have the used but serviceable military patina that I personally find cool. Have some left but not a lot- probably be sold out in a couple of days

They are good containers and I even have three of my own (bought elsewhere) but to be clear, they are not Pelican brand cases. They use very different construction methods and materials which are very good in their own right. Very cheap military surplus bang for the buck!

EDIT:

the NSN for the case itself is 5855-01-246-8269
