Gildwiller1918 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Recently got this 1916 dated MK. VII British Ammunition Crate, this particular one made it to the US as it has 2 labels addressed to Rock Island Arsenal. I replaced the 2 carry straps as the originals were pretty much gone. The retaining pin needs a new twine rope as well, but I got it really cheap, so could not pass it up. Several of the original labels are still present and visible, and the crate itself has a stamp in the wood from 1916. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Remind of the ammunition boxes in the film "Zulu", the lid attached with screws and the lead foil below. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
