Howdy Everyone,

By some slim chance would anyone have a picture (or two) or crates for ammo for German mortars (specifically I am looking for a picture of crate suitable for a 8cm GrW 34 German WWII mortar, not the little briefcase style deals that come in the Tamiya kit that hold three rounds, but a bigger crate/ammo box that would hold rounds, or cases of rounds.

I am just trying to find a picture to scratch build a couple of cases from, with out just making a generic “wood case” this is a full blown rivet counting exercise, just something in the same ball park even.

Google hasn’t been my friend (so far with this search)

Thanks Kindly

Dan

Thanks Goodness, I did find the site with the first picture, and it shows the “briefcase style” case, I was trying to find a bigger type wooden case that several of those smaller "briefcases would of come in or something. Surely the Germans didn’t transport all their mortar ammo, in small 3 piece cases?

Hawkeye, thanks I am doing a general search for artillery now, maybe I was being to specific in my own search, just limiting it to mortar ammo cases. Like I say I am just trying to get in the same ball park here, with out obsessing about it (well obsessing to much at least [;)] )
