I found this Panzer tool box outside of Luxembourg about 15 years ago. When I found it, it was in very rusty condition filled with bolts. I have seen pictures of this style of tool box being used by Panther crews, but it may have been used by others. I have since crushed glass blasted the box and restored it in ordnance tan. It does have light pitting overall and no visible markings.

These are the bolts that were inside. I do not know if they are all from one tank or from the maintenance of multiple. Note many of them still have ordnance tan paint on them with some having some overspray of green from camouflaging. I will not be restoring the bolts, but rather leaving them in their original paint. All I did was add some oil for cleaning and preservation.
