markings on 8,8 cm box shows that box was refiled twice after first was send to enemy.i would say VETERAN BOX.russian shoulder bords for tankcrew found in attic.nothing special-just both are different models and different tanks.goldplated and silverplated.ofcorse such expeditions brings lot of spareparts etc garbage,but nothing interesting to see.the best is on pictures.
