Artillery Lugers

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
I really like the box of snail drums with loading tool. Just awesome!
What is the story behind the box? Is it something that was sent along with a shipment of Artillery Lugers?

That's the way they were delivered to the troops; the box with loader, five magazines and ammunition. The pouches were issued by the clothing depots (S-4).

Ben, I'll start with one of my favorites as it's unit marked to Reserve Jaeger Battalion 15 which became a Stosstrupp unit in 1916.

That is just sooo nice, original blueing and strawing, you you take the strap off the shoulder board or did it come like that?

I took the straps off for the photo. I have the full rig.

I am waiting for mine to come back from the proof house, all matching other than the trigger, side plate and take down toggle, the condition is nowhere near yours though
