Chute and wheels included, I think it is priced fairly.

Hi John,

isn't the chute pictured the type for the 'bomb-like' drop cannister"? I thought that the chutes for these large square containers came in a bag?

Kind regards,
Frank.

PS: saw you had a great SOS! One year I'll be there too.

I think you are correct Frank, but still, all scarce parts. Looking forward to meeting you next year!
Best,

If you search the forums, there is actually a thread about this same container already. The container is actually fairly extensively refurbished and the "lastenfallschirm" that he is selling is off a supply bomb was the original conclusion as my memory serves me.

There was extensive restoration to the repainting and metalworking per several who witnessed it up close. Still beautiful, but not necessarily valuable as a collectors piece.

I have requested additional photos of the damage around a month ago and have yet to receive them.
