Sniper Patronenkasten 900 s.S. Anschuß 'cg 1944'

£0.00Price

Here we have an exceptionally rare late-war wooden 'Patronenkasten 900' model ammo box which once held 900 rounds of the highly prized 7.92x57mm s.S. Anschußpatronen.

 

These rounds were loaded to the highest standard of any German 7.92x57mm ammo produced during the war and developed, initially, to test rifle accuracy. However, it's unsurprising that some frontline Scharfschützen (snipers) were eventually issued with such rounds later in the war, as proven by numerous Soldbuch records. 

 

Given it's type, condition and date; it is almost certain that this box once comprised such a delivery - with the label denoting issue in 1944. 

 

The box is in 'as found' condition, having received a coating of the typical red oxide as can often be found applied to late-war equipment - or potentially in this case to differentiate the box from others in a group, given the special internal contents! 

 

One of only two such Anschußpatronen boxes which we have ever had, and so a rare piece of equipment to find today for any collector of ordnance and/or sniper related items!
