Hi all
picked up this nice Mg ammo box.. I think its post war ...it has dark green paint BGS, berlin polizei?? and it has a maker stamp gew wartime manufacturer but undated ..a and a white eagle stamp with B.M.d.I. and 2 WuG 2... any ideas!!??? its leather pull handle fittings still have masking tape on and there was remnants of the same on the handle leatherwork as well!! its not a recent re-spray most likely 60's 70's at the latest!!!

Top row is for Bundesministerium des Inneren
2nd Row, don't Know what the Wu stands for. G is for Group and the Numbers maybe for the 2nd Squad in the 2nd Group.

"WuG" was in my (Bw) unit the "Waffen- und Gerätewart" (armory NCO).

Thanks, learned something New today!
So we just need to find out what the 2"s mean.

It´s the same stamp as in the early BGS Gasmask-cans.
Can "WuG" mean "Abteilung Waffen und Gerät" ?

Best regards

Hummm so another question...why would they stamp an Mg ammo box!!???? passed examination perhaps!!???
perhaps the 2's are like an I.D. code for a particular examiner??
