Cartons (cardboard boxes) for KM Awards

[Norm F]

The FLL Marine Art. carton is a real gem. Tried to obtain it several times without any luck. The style is the same as FLL pilots, AG and ROAG Cartons.

Hi René,

The only other FLL carton I could find posted is the type attached here, normally for the IAB, with an unmarked exterior, marked interior, paper hinge and semi-circular "thumb" cutout. Do you have any other photos of the Marine Artillery carton to show any similarity in construction?

Best regards,

Ah, here's something supportive. An FLL CCC in a paper-hinged stapled carton with exactly the same style font as the Marine Artillery carton.

And I finally found your old postings of the Luftwaffe cartons in the same style.

I will try to find some other examples.

Here they are!

Here's something unusual. From John T.'s site a nice minty late war zinc Schwerin S-Boat with the uncut swastika. It comes in a kind of carton I've never seen before -- seems to open from the edge and has Schnellboot stamped in ink? Seems atypical for a factory packaged item, but maybe Marcus or René or Allan could comment on this one?

Best regards,

I know Allan has a GAB in such a carton.

Hi René,

I assume you mean this one? Not really the same, although it does open on the end. (No mention of what type of GAB was in the box.)

I have one too

I have a carton the same that a Schwerin Auxiliary cruiser came in Will post pictures when I find it.

I can post my cardbox, it came with the same badge as yours and i´m pretty sure it´s the same style

Just noticed it could came from the same source as Norm F´s E-Boat Badge in post #5

Hi Alex,

That's not my S-Boat in post #5 - I don't recall who posted it originally but I think maybe from Russia?

At any rate, I never get tired of seeing your Schwerin AC badge and that's really interesting that it has a similar style of "inventory number" and price written on the front of the carton. Thanks for posting.

Best regards,
