I love old stuff. Found this Canco brand can at a local market that had been shit painted black. Blasted it clean and gave it a fresh coat of matte finish OD green. I have a few other old ones in the garage I need to clean up one day.
Nice, I like to collect old Military rifles to recondition & shoot.
I have a few commercial (sp) ammo boxes that someone gave me.
They are just sitting on my loading bench waiting for someone that collect them.
The Shop
Picked these up this weekend! Another 30 cal Canco, 50 cal Modern and a huge sumbitch I’ve been looking for for the past couple years? Any idea what came in it??? Four latches on the lid and handles on the sides.
Sign up here and post the pics. Lots of knowledge there.
The Huge can hold mortar rounds ? Is there anytning on that box that says DODIC OR DODAAC with a number following ? Can’t wait to see that box finished. That’ll good olive green.
Trench art is my favourite, like this shell casing formed into a money box in the shape of a postbox. It's post ww2 but still cool. Can't even remember where I got it from now.
Trench art can get pretty elaborate. Good stuff.
I always found it sad that the medals would end up at car boot sales, some French soldier slogged through the hell of WW1 and once he was gone not even his family gave a shit about his medals or what he had gone through.
The WW1 iron cross is macabre though, it was won and awarded and then worn in battle, it's owner was wounded and died 3 days later somewhere on the western front in 1917, the rear side of the fabric has some of his blood stained on it.

Pretty amazing that a 100 year old design still gets the job done today.
You got any other old guns? I love stuff like this.
That stuff either. A museum probably would pay....or collectors might be your best bet.
