MG-34 Drum - Ordnance Tan?

[Alan Smith]

Here is another MG-34 drum I recently acquired. I think it is all original WWII German military issue, but would appreciate any thoughts or comments.

MG Ammo can

Hasag stamp is correct original German WW2, I have a Zwillingsockel can marked with this code/symbol, as well as a couple other Ammo cans if memory serves me correct. Chris...

Hi Alan,
I am a novice in this area.But I believe drums with original paint were red inside like this one.Hope this helps

Jason, I think that applies to late war drums, not early ones like Alan's
Alan, very nice drum, If you ever get tired of it drop me a line.
Thanks

Thanks for all the comments, guys.

The person I acquired the drum from indicated that he believes the "39" in the numbers marked with the maker's logo to represent the year 1939. Any thoughts?

Correct, the 39 indicates year of production
