MG34 E-Kasten 'B4404 WaA'

A very nice steel Patronenkasten 34 ammo can which has been repurposed for use as an MG34 E-Kasten (spare parts box) for the fulfilment of the Portuguese Contract in 1943. 
 
This example retains the vast majority of the original grey-green factory paint, as well as the white 'E' designation marking, and the serial number of the MG34 (4404 b) with which this box was originally paired. The box is clearly Waffenamt marked to the lid, and all of the handles also retain their original leather covers.
