Hi Willi:

here is a foto of mine.

The M 24 has been blacked out and replaced with 43 (for M 43) and the other side reads, as yours does, fuer Tropen. I was amazed when I found this item for......DM30! only a few years ago!

Hello Willi and Erich

Very nice and indeed hard to obtain in such a condition!! any possibility to see some pictures of the interieur?
I sold the same one, but in feldgrau, a few months ago.

Here's a small carrying-container for mortars. I found it recently on a fleamarket. It seems that it has been repainted in black once, but the tan paint is still visible on soms spots...

cheers

Jan

More cases

Here is a foto of another Grenade case that I found...all the information has been whited out since the case was used in civilian use after the war.

...and since it was used for Civilian use I used it as my carryon case from Zürich to New York a few years ago (no, I was not wearing the facemask as I checked in) it went well with the Lw. Rücksack I brought along.

the hardest part to find for the stick grenade can is of course the internal rack,
