Mystery German Imperial Lockbox

Too bad it's not filled with Pour le Mèrite, but remember that the ribbons don't make noise if you shake the box...



Anyway, send a photo when you open the box, even if it's full of nothing

Well the Mystery is over. Now that I'm back home and have access to my tools. I was able to open the box. It is the right key to open the box, however there is a trick to get the lid to open up.
After turning the key clockwise to unlock the box, you need to turn the key again clockwise another 1/2 a turn, this pulls back the latch allowing the lid to pull open freely.
But it wouldn't open freely, it looks like the box was dropped on one corner causing the lid to wedge. After a bit of gentle persuasion the lid popped open. I was then able to bend the corner back into shape and the lid works like new again.

Unfortunately the box is empty. Just the nice blue paint.

Too bad there was nothing inside.
Well mate, now it's your turn to store your collector's treasures in it. In any case, it's a great box.

It wasn't empty. He's just saying that because it was filled with "new in box" PLM's and doesn't want us badgering him to sell us some at discounted prices for helping out.
