Hi guys,

Any idea of what those might be?

All this junks that this chum of mine keep finding, were left behind by the second 6th Army, destroyed in the soviet "Iasi - Chisinau" operation, Moldova county, Romania.

Thank you all!

Hi Adi, the top one is a shell canister. I have a 75mm one in my collection. It is marked "Airtight". There is lettering in blue which tells you the type of shell it carried. Also it might have paper label too.

The second pic shows two standard German ammo tins for the MG34 or 42.

Cheers, Ade.

Well the bottom two look like ammo crates. But as for the 1st picture I do not know.

*EDIT* Ade you beat me to it.....

Looks like 7,5 cm PAK ammo container and two MG 7.92 belt-ammo boxes

Ade, I would say MG, due of any front formations use also MG 08, 08/15 and other combinations

**Adrian Stevenson** · 03-15-2009, 08:44 PM

Of course

you are right Dimas. The tins could be used for any MG.

Thank you Ade, thank you Justin, thank you Dimas.

How much do you think I should pay for those?

I think that kind of junk cost approx nothing- if you just want to buy a story- 20-25 USD is normal price. I don't know how about today but 15 years ago, that was a good money for Moldova

( I mean Moldova as a country)

The 6th Army lost most of the equipment in Basarabia, a region of Moldova county, nowadays the Republic of Moldova, the last bolshevik "country" of Europe.

25 $? I don't think he will be that kind to me. Thank you Dimas.
