Here is an item that I am very happy to have in my collection.
This is an Israeli maxim 7,62mm ammo box that they must of captured from an Arab country during the Six day war and reissued later (1969 i will assume) leading to its potential use in the Yom Kippur war. I don’t think Maxims were used by any Arab state so this was likely used with the PKM machine gun
It’s neat seeing the Soviet star plastered over with desert camo. The original green paint can be seen in places. Unfortunately the leather strap came off a long time ago but you can still tell where it was. There are also two white strips on the back.
I’m not that knowledgeable of maxim ammo tins so if there’s any more to add please say!
Hopefully you guys like it as much as me!
