PRE-WAR German Wehrmacht Patronenkasten – STEEL STORAGE BOX – POLISH – V. RARE!

Description

You are bidding on a VERY RARE example of a 100% original Pre-war POLISH Patronenkasten Storage Box! Designed for the CKM wz.30, this was captured by the Germans in WW2, and used throughout the war. This box was carried by troops, or inside tanks and armoured vehicles, to store parts and equipment for the roof mounted or coaxial MG.

Used to store belts, links, spare parts, tools, and other equipment, this box is in VERY NICE used condition! Retains approx 85% original Dunkelgrau paint, with various marks and wear from storage. Latches function 100% correctly! This came to me full of ammunition and grease, so the inside would need to be cleaned up a bit. Features the POLISH manufacture markings indicating:

11a

1931

“MARS”

Captured by the Germans, and in use throughout the war, it is MUCH rarer than the standard Patronenkasten 34! Features a faint hand-applied marking on the top. Would be a PERFECT addition to any collection, display, or restoration project!
