Description
Original Item: Steel 250 round box designed to contain five 50 round steel belts of 7.92×57mm caliber ammunition (belts not included). These original cans are offered in very good to excellent condition.
Most cans have leather padding on the top carry handle, and some have leather on the side carry handle. There is always a possibility that some of these cans were WW2 manufactured and the markings are concealed under the postwar paint (no guarantees) we just didn’t feel like stripping them.
Used for the German WWII 7.92mm MG 34, MG 42 and the post war Yugoslavian MG 53.
Offered in Excellent condition, colors vary as seen in photos.
Please note that most cans will be packed in cosmoline (grease). This is original cosmoline put on each ammo can before it was placed in military storage, it was used to protect the cans from rust and moisture. We do NOT clean the cans before shipment. Cleaning is easy and is best done with mineral spirits or paint thinner and a rag.
