But this ist IMO

Patronenkasten 900
I cant add a pic with an original Patronenksten 900 .This was also used vor 1260 Kurzpatronen 43 m.E. into 3 Packhülsen 88 (3 x28 boxes) .The other was used for 1500 Kurzpatronen 43 without Packhülsen 100 houndret boxes.Originally posted by Oberst Von Luck View PostHello

I allways look for boxes with labels for my book about the development and production of the German Kurzpatrone 43.

Last ditch 900 round box.
Hi, second try at replying to this thread (don't what happened to my first post!) there were several of these for sale at Beltring a few years back the box I bought was marked with what looks like gjx 1945. They have what looks to me a latch ditch type of construction certainly compared to earlier 7.92 boxes, (either that or made in someone's shed last week)! Regards David.Comment

Markings on box.

Were the boxes containing Kurzpatronen also marked Patronenkasten 900 on the lid (although they contained more than 900 cartridges)? I ask because I have seen "Patronenkasten 900" without stencilling on the lid, they might have been for Kurzpatronen (or postwar made)?

Thanks Tom,
often you find the Patronenkasten 900 are without paper labels, describing the content, on the outside of the box (they could have been lost of course, but often there don´t seem to have been any from the start - only on the inside of the lid), now this would not matter if the content was 900 cartridges 7,92mm standard as written on the lid, but would be unlogically if the content was 7,92 Kurz instead. How would they know which box contained what without having to open them? (could be critical in a combat situation and from a logistical view).
... and Tom: please show pics of the box/label if possible ;-))
Thanks

Thanks for showing Tom, it is really a rare and nice box you have there. The paint seems more latewar light grey (as seen on R Mun 4922 and Kart. l.F.H. 18 boxes) than tan? Its interesting that the box is still stencilled ´Patronenkasten 900´. How did they keep trace of what boxes contained what (7,92 standard or 7,92 Kurz) without having to open them all up then? Often also the boxes containing standard 7,92 do not have any trace of ever having a contents label on the outside of the box, only on the inside of the lid.

Patronenkasten 900
All Patronenkasten 900 have contents labels on the inside and on the outside.Originally posted by Sonnenwende View Post
The ooutside contents label are often missing after 60 jears.
There are 900 cartridges 8x57 or 1260 7.92x33 in 3 Packhülsen (battelpack) with Heeresmunition 25 kg on the outside or 1500 7,92x33 with 100 loose boxes.with 33 kg on the outside .
