Lewis gun magazine carrier box

[Grenadier1982]

Hello,

I found a lewis gun magazine carrier box in the bavarian alps (strange place for this box...)

The box is a little bit modified. Is it from WW2 or WW1?

I didn't find some marker stamps on the box.

Maybe there is a linkage between this box and the second bag from this thread (they all were found together)? http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=755281

Thanks in advance!

Cheers
Stephan

I know a couple of Lewis Gun owners that would love that.

@ pitfighter: Do you know from which area it is?

I think the box will leave me - because it's not my collecting field...

Any ideas about the value?

I don't know much about your one - or why it was where you found it.
This picture is WW1 -

Also, if one looks at any WW2 German war-time propaganda photo's - the allies (depicted by German's in costume) are always armed with Lewis guns - so they must have had access to a few.
