A few boxes

[Endel]

Super box collection, Endel!
What box in the lest picture "2.jpg"?
Have any markings on it?

Hi,

I have no idea, what for it, some markings are visible on it and some interesting marks inside too. Construction looks like some a earlier variant but dated 1939. Any ideas? Could be for smaller calibre, maybe 23 mm, not sure.

Hi!

I have one raising question , how rare is a carrying box for the German 8 cm Vielfachwerfer rockets? Is it expensive? Any experience here?

Seems like no dealing experience here in this forum?

Thanks

I am sure that this is a rare case but it is also a weapon that is not as commonly known about.

The box condition and label are excellent. Much better than the example on the wehrmachts.kisten site. It would be very interesting to see what way the rockets held in the box.

For something like this it is my opinion there is no normal price and I think your own expertise will be the best guide you have for a value.

Where do you live? In a supermarket?

 

[Endel]

A new year has been started today, means this is a first local fair in this year. Some new crates and small peaces found a new home.

One question also, i do not have any ideas about that small tail of bomb (?), visible near a leaflet grenade... it is small, diameter is around 4 cm. Any ideas what for it was used?

Wow.....a very find collection of 3.7cm Flak ammo boxes with excellent internal parts. Just a shame that you couldn't find 3.7cm Pak boxes in such quantity. You have made a very good start already with such a large amount at the first fair.

Do the 3.7cm boxes have any rare labels or are they all HE shells?

Please put more pics of the Flak boxes, they seem to be in perfect condition.I see the supermarket time has began again.

This one, Endel, seems to be a real cream piece. :top: Congrat's and thanks for sharing.

Came across this pic last year (no WaA-stamp visible)



and since then I'm wondering about the manufacturer "S & Co."

The "WaA 170" on your fine example is a first serious clue, as there are in all many possible "S & Co."-variations. This special department was located in the area Leipzig/Zeitz (Saxonia), but all I could find there were four leatherworking and two packaging related manufacturers. It's very implausible that those producers have made such high quality metal products. :hmmmm2:

Wish someone might lighten this darkness.

Peter,
Any factory could have been turned to making other products for war. For example,the local wallpaper manufacturer here in my home town refurbished ammo boxes during ww2.

cheers

waff

You're right, Paul, much was possible during the war.
But it's impossible to convert a leatherworking factory into an iron foundry. And, most important in case of these high-quality racks, they are pre-war production, so called peace ware. There was no need for any manufacturing adventure then.
The question remains mysterious.
