The bag of booty. (why didn't he find something exotic?)

[Fred S]

Gonna love such find!

How did the mouse came into the box?

[RonR]

Wolhans,

I can only suppose that sometime in the last 60 years the box was not tightly shut.

The lid was not closed and the front nails bent when it was discovered at the Flea Market, so it was likely not closed completely when stored.

It is a shame, but perhaps the mouse was really hungry!

Best regards,

[Fred S]

Ron,
I was just kidding
I think it's the best supposition we can find

I really love militaria stuff when it comes from "nowhere"

[Ken B.]

Although a no decal M42 that's a gem of a find. Other items included.

Ron,
You really do have a stroke of good fortune.

[Tim R. B.]

Ron, excellent helmet and box, these are the items I really love, real history Tim.

great find!

[ROBB]

Its just like one of those ww1 mail home lids with the stamps stuck to the top . Perhaps its not mouse chew but damage done at the time and are not those SS shoulder straps .Nice one Rob.

Great history.
That makes an average helmet so special.

(maybe this soldier was not be able to pick up the great looking pieces , we want to see nowadays, because of his function then.)

I noticed that too but thought it looked a bit more tan/ochre.. Very nice.
