MG08
Apologies to all - PHOTOBUCKET has changed its policy so I must now go back through old posts and alter. Hope all will be well but if not new photos and MG08 topics will still continue.

I have recently seen it suggested that this style of ammo tin was originally made for the MG08 (pre Nazi era) but this information has not been confirmed. The source said that the identifying factors are the different handles and the lack of Nazi era markings. If this is correct it could be post WW1 but no later than when the Nazis came to power in the early 1930s. It also stated that these tins continued to be used through WW2 with the MG34 & MG42.

WWI German Ammo Boxes
Flying10uk your box is WWI. Corners and indents are also identifying factors between Imperial and later. Thanks for showing. When you have both 250 rd boxes side by side it is very clear. Sadly I do not have a post WWI example but here are some more random images of WWI boxes, including the 500 rd box which also differs..

Thanks, MG1918, for that. Would the "correct" colour for WW1 German use in Europe be field grey, I'm guessing it would be? I only purchased the tin in post 48 because it looked different to all the other MG34/42 ammo tins in the pile. I didn't have a clue as to the reason in the difference in the appearance between this tin and all the others.
