Please feel free to comment or post pics of your own WWI equipment and other stuff! All items shown in this pic are of course completely empty according to the local laws!

Jens,
What is the metal canister in the back row next to the French canteen? The one with the wording pressed into the lid. Also, could I see a better picture of the black projectile that is to the right of the large painted round?

Thanks,
Chip

The big canister is a strange field grey can with the inscription "Seelberg" on the lid. I got it together with some other old cans from that era. Maybe for a field kitchen or whatever it was used for. The black round is a 91,3 mm "Lanz-Mine" which was a small trench mortar. I will post pics and informations about this weapon tomorrow.

Are the warheads and grenades all battlefield finds by yourself?

Great collection
