I had a large blue steamer trunk with brass reinforced corners & brass latch, for when I joined "The Force" (RCMP) It was a necessary bit of kit. It was lined with thin cedar as well. We got rid of it a bunch of years back - taking up space and being quite old, was sort-of falling apart. I think maybe wife might have sold it.
It was "shipped" wherever I went, by truck, which was expensive. As long as the gvt. was paying the transfer, all was well. Shipping large items by truck is very expensive, but it followed me for 2 moves (in my truck), after leaving the Force, to where we are now. One of my daughters brushed her leg against it walking by and needed a bunch of stitches to close the wound from the brass lock/clasp.
Mine looked just like this, with blue-enameled tin outside.

HA!- it actually looked identical to that one. LOL
