[me6_130]

I didn't know if to post at Panzer or ordnance forum..so here it is:

It is a green carboard tube with metal reinforcements and handle, no paper label. It is about 45cm X 12cm. stenciled:

Heeres-munition, Gesampt-Gew ??Kg, Ptr7,5cm Kwk40.

Seems a Kwk40 case fits in, if it weren't so short...It might have been cut short.

I have seen other similar carboard tubes in other calibers, for powder charges perhaps? It doesn't appear at the Wehrmachts-kisten web
