Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Yes, it looks like almost mint. Anyway, i just bought it, i will post some better pictures when it arrives. What makes me a little bit worry is that there is place for 20 grenades in this rack but all wooden boxes I have seen are for 30 grenades.
Here are some more pictures I got from the auction description. Rack is WaA marked.
