That thing is way cool!!
Not fake. I have two just like it sitting here behind me. Got them from my Grandpa. Unknown year of when he got them.
Nice!
Yeah, I have two more. Another M1 and an M2, which has a hinged lid instead of a slotted one like this. The CMP has shipped a lot of surplus ammo in cans like these, God only knows where they came from and where they've been. Some of them have a bracket on the can to mount onto an M1919 machinegun, like on a vehicle mounted pintle, those cans are worth some bucks.Quote:

Off topic but, if you know someone that can identify old military ammo cans/containers I have something that needs identified. Let me know.Quote:

Nice score rondog.
I have a shotgun with that logo seen on the 3rd pic beneath where it says "Crown".
I have no idea, but since it's so heavy and heavy-duty, I'd guess it's a case for some kind of sensitive, important equipment. It's already heavy as hell, so I doubt it would have really heavy contents too, or nobody could move it. If you really gotta know, Google a guy named Bill Ricca, he seems to be a specialist and dealer in all kinds of military surplus.Quote:
