This replica of stencils and internal paper labels for the German Patronenkasten wooden ammunition box is an invaluable asset when crafting authentic transport crates. Throughout World War II, these distinctive wooden boxes were used for transporting and storing standard 7.92 mm Mauser rifle and machine-gun ammunition, which formed the backbone of the entire German infantry's armament.
The set is designed primarily for enthusiasts and prop makers who build entirely new replica crates "from scratch" and want to give them a 100% accurate historical appearance, including period markings and technical data regarding weight or ammunition type according to military regulations.
While the stencils and waterproof labels can be used in exceptional cases to restore heavily damaged pieces, any restoration of genuine historical artifacts should be approached with extreme caution – the original patina and period finish hold immense collector value, and an original box rarely truly requires new paint or re-spraying of the inscriptions.
This product offers an ideal solution to fully and detailedly outfit field camps and displays for military history reenactment groups or film productions without altering genuine historical pieces.
