    Please help me help another collector identify this

    Hello all, was wondering if anyone here recognized this case that is paired with this m7a3 launcher. The case appears just as old if not older than the launcher itself, but I do not believe it is a grenade launcher case(never seen or heard of that), but a case for something else that the grenade launcher fits nicely in. Any help would be greatly appreciated.thank you

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    I believe that to be a M7A3 grenade launcher. I would need more detailed photos. See above link.

    Thank you 72 usmc, the case is German and the launcher is usgi. It makes sense since the Germans used our m7a3s post world war II, that they would use their grenade launcher cases with our m7A3s as well. He said he'd had it a long time and always thought that case went specifically to that launcher. I told him that I had never seen or heard of a grenade launcher case for usgi launchers, but I would try to find out exactly what he had. Thanks again
