It looks like a Korean War Ammo Box XMTR made by the US ARMY SIGNAL
CORPS DEPOT in JAPAN for the UNPIK Forces.
There were no markings that could identify the company or country of
origin. Deniability.....

Now that we have flogged another dead horse or two, hows about some
of you guys taking a look at this item 6539407603 and tell us what
you all think it is.
At first, I thought it was a commercial or kit QRP transmitter
stuffed into an old ammo box. But on closer examination and with the
added schematics the seller posted, I am inclined to think it may be
some sort of Special Forces, or other spy type rig.
It uses a 6J5 crystal oscillator driving a 6L6 and is very neatly
constructed. In fact, it looks SOMETHING like the transmitter that is
included in the AN/GRC-109.
Anyone have a clue? I think the price the seller is getting is kinda
too high, but what do I know?
