Please help to identify this metal box?

[hchris]

Hello

I got those pictures the other day of this metal box. Presumably it was used in some form by the German Wehrmacht, but it could also be a Russian item because it was recovered on the Eastern Front. Anybody got any idea what this thing is?

Any help greatly appreciated!

Isn't it a panzerbuchse ammo box ?

My first thought was a Panzerbüchse 39 ammo box, but when you compare the two it is very obvious that it is not.


Honestly I have no idea

I will get you guys a picture with a ruler or something for dimensions comparison.


So far I could not find any markings, but I have to check again very thoroughly.

Here a few pictures of my set....





Should be marked on the side (byd or bwz)




I also have the H.Dv. and pictures of the inside with contents if you're interested.

Btw you mentioned a HdV about it, would you please be so kind and share it?

Hi

I will make some scans from the H.Dv. but did not have time for it yet... probably next weekend... so you have to wait for a while
