French National Marines metalic box

French National Marines metalic box

So, I have this blue metalic box that is said to come from the national marines (french) and it's heavy as hell (it's full).

The box have a 3 numbers padlock, and :

- it's harder on the last number toward the 8 and 9.

- I tried to use a video to help (they say that the right combinaison is the 3 numbers that are "weaker" when you turn them) and it came to 321 but didn't open.

- we tried any combinaisons that are familiar.

- I tried to do it numbers by numbers until 6-0-0 because i'm starting to hurt (it's rusty inside, I can feel it, the lock is too hard to turn sometimes it hurt).

- I can't put a wire or even a little hard paper on the side of the numbers to feel the hole, I think it's to be sure no one will try to crack the lock.

- there's a small square thing on the side of the numbers, does I need to try to lift it everytimes I enter a potential code for it to maybe open ??

- I'm starting to think the padlock is just too rusty and doesn't work anymore

And the box is probably from my father when he was in the marines so fear not, I didn't stole it or anything like that.

So, if anyone have any help I'll be happy to read it and if not then I'm starting again with the "number by number" technic tonight then.
