German WW 2 ammo, etc. box collection

well I thought I would try to see if some of these pics come out

comments welcome from all.

first is a nice little 8.8cm Flak fuze box. has the wooden sleeve protector that the fuses sat in underneath metal protector though the whole bottom of the box. nicely marked with appropriate labeling. Makers code impressed and also the waffenamt stamp as well.

other pics coming as a run through

 

another set of pics we will see if the forum allows them or I need to downsize, which I will probably have to do, just hit the pic and they will enlarge sort of ...........

re-dos coming soon

 

Very nice Erich, i am truly jealous

 

I love these ammo boxes and have been tempted many times over the years (they can still be found in Europe for relatively low prices ).

But such a collection is one thing that I really don't have the room for......

 

That is an excellent collection Erich. Ever since I saw a war film (Stalingrad?) where two soldiers were carrying an ammo box between them, I've always wanted to take a closer look and possibly own one myself.

 

this makes 5 boxes now in the collection and with my infant foto skills...........HELP ! well be patient will adjust and take closer views, the boxes are quite varied and of course have militaria and other work related items covering them at present.

thanks guys for the responses so far ..........

 

Hi E, this item would go very nicely alongside that 88 Flak gun i have sitting in my backyard ;-0)

 

That's fantastic mate!

Thanks for sharing.

 

well until I get the pics of the case re-done, this should keep everyone busy, everything you wanted to know and see about the Flak 8.8cm gun and it's components.
