PHOTOSHOPPED!!!!!

Just Kidding.

Awesome display. I'm working to catch up :-)

No wonder they are getting so hard to find! You have all of them

Very impressive, and interesting to see a green wooden box, I know them in Black and "raw", the green is a first for me. Any chance to see some more details of it, for instance the lettering/labels?

Is the metal trunk in winter white camo original painted?

Hi Sonnenwende

here are a few more pics of the green M39 box.

when I got the box all of the labels were missing
So these ones I reproduced from original artwork
to compliment the box.


will take better photo of the winter cammo box later,

Hi Jeeensy,
thanks for showing more photos. I suspect the green colour is not factory Applied but done later, perhaps in the field. Did you add the black stenclling on the lid as well as the labels? (nice labels BTW).

The lower box on the left contained the usual 15 grenades, detonators and fuses. But in addition it also appears to have held 15 "Tragefedern". Can you tell which year it was made? (I know; it is always the one in the bottom of the stack.....)

Few pictures of some of my cases.

My earliest case. Dated 27' You will notice the case is styled a bit different as well. Not a rounded on the sides and no lip around the front. This is the earliest case I have ever seen.

Hi

The black stencilling is original( only made the labels to enhance the box as it is is excellent shape) as for the green I think this is original as I seen a few the same, there is one on egun the same for sale. ( glad you like the labels took a while to get them to look ok )

Very surprising! So we have one box from 1927 and one box from 1940, both with "Tragefedern". In 1927 the carrying loop was still in production, so I guess it was not what I thought it was after all. Has anyone any idea what the "Haltefeder" might have been?

The Early racks with three compartments one for each.

Sp Nr 8

Delay fuses

Waxed cardboard disks ( Kuppiangsstucke)

These were used for sealing the can to the top thread to stop moisture from entering. later the disc was omitted as the Hgr's had a very fast turn aroung and were not stored for any length of time. Hence later Racks with only 2 compartments.

Great collection Nick!!

As an fan of these grenade transport containers I really enjoyed looking at these pictures. I too am curious about the winter camo one?? I would love to see more pics of this one if you have any? This is the first white one I've ever seen.
