Hi guys,

I'd appreciate any info./help that can be given in confirming the identity & age of an ammo tin that I recently acquired. I believe it's Russianicon in origin but from what I've seen of similar items, most tend to have the Russian/Soviet star on the side of them.

It's in "used" condition, looking like it's seen some service/action! I cleaned it up a bit & while doing so came across a few marks/markings on the lid. There is an '18' scratched into it with what I'd describe as a horizontal, reverse 'L' underneath it. There is also a faint "V". However, when looking at it, I can't decide if it's a letter V or possibly the point of a star. If the lighting is right, there is what looks like part of another line running off at an angle which could be another point... maybe.

As mentioned, any info. would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
