Unknown ammo box

[Fabe]

Hey Everyone - just got this ammo box recently - never seen one like this before - same size as a double MG ammo box. Anyone seen one like this before? Found in Hungary, thankfully in real good condition.
Cheers - Fabe

Its for the tools or oil cans for 2cm Flak gun

[Fabe]

Thank you, that was my guess also with the 2cm marking.

Hello Fabe
My friend and I have such boxes, we found them in Lithuania. His is "modified" and mine is not.
Many people claim that those boxes are for 2 cm. FlaK, and unfortunately no one has shown any evidence yet. I don't think the stencil 2cm shows that they were made for FlaK.

Greetings from Lithuania

I brought 2x complete Ex Finnish Army 2cm Flak guns some years ago and both came with these model of boxes ,some with tools in and others with oil cans in so i am 100% sure they were used with 2cm Flak guns

I'd say ,,used'' is one thing, and ,,made for' - completely different matter. Like an old goat, I won't believe it until I see proof. I’m not talking about German manuals HDv, at least something like this one:

Does anyone know what R. Ger 2 cm means?

I would hazard a guess at Reinigungsgerät (Cleaning equipment).

Kind regards,

Will.

There may be another option - Richtgerät.
