MG Kasten - year ?

[steger]

Can anyone tell me anything about this MG Gurtkasten? My understanding is that this is supposed to be an end-of-war product

It’s a Patronenkasten 41, so anytime from 1941 onwards. There should be a maker’s code on the lid, between the fixing points for the handle. That may be able to help you date it more precisely.

Thanks for your replies gentlemen, means I was thinking correctly
Unfortunately, mine has suffered too much from time and bad conditions. I don't think I'll be able to find any markings (Kasten still on the way). But I don't aim to collect only exceptionally well-preserved artifacts. I am interested in specific items that have seen their lives.
I like to sit in my Zündapp seat, although it has been slightly damaged over the years, but the original one that some "Hans" once sat on
