unknown metal box : origine? timeframe?

[Jan B]

Greetings


Please check out below thread in which I posted a metal box that needs some ID. It is supposed to have been re-used by german Sanitäter during WWII, but what is the origine of it? There is some doubt about it being german. Maybe Brittish? Russian?

Look like the tin box carrier for the grenades of the 50mm lanucher that the germans had used from the french. 5.0 cm GrW 203 (f)

I have a pic a home of the box I will have a look at it tonight. Seem to remeber they came in boxes of three

Any chance to see the picture you were referring too?

Opps sorry not to get back to you. Had a look through my two books on German lt. mortars last night and only found ammo boxes that held six or eight rounds.

They were split attaché like boxes with either 3 or 4 rounds on either side. Sorry no top loading boxes like the one on you thread.

Thanks for checking it out...The search goes on!
