    Default Camouflaged Patronenkasten 34

    Hi guys!

    Here's one recent addition, a salty 1938-dated aluminium Patronenkasten 34 with an early three-tone camouflage. Most of the numbers painted in white near the handle have unfortunately been destroyed by heavy local oxidation, but the manufacturer's markings for "WF Co. 1938" and the WaA (123) can still be seen. According to the dealer, the box comes from a local in the Finnish town of Kemi - an area that saw fighting in October 1944.

    Despite the rather rough condition, I liked the colors and the "been there" appearance of this one. Something a bit different compared to my black 1939 example.

    Thanks for having a look!

    Hello,
    That's a nice one congrats for the find, it has seen some action for sure and most of leather protections on the handles are gone, but still nice...
    Thanks

    Cheers! Yeah, it's a shame about the leather parts. Can't always have everything!

    I thought I'd update the thread with a few outdoor shots to do the worn camouflage more justice. The three-tone paintwork and all the autumn colors in the local forest were a fairly beautiful match.

    Cheers!

    Hello,

    Thanks

    Thanks a lot for the compliments Bodhi, I appreciate it as always! I don't think there is anything pre-1939 that you don't like...
