Original U.S. WWI Small Arms M1906 .30cal Ball Cartridge Metal Ammunition Crate for Frankford Arsenal

Regular price $395.00

Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice WWII Issue "Packing box M1917" ammunition crate with a steel liner for Small Arms .30-06 cartridges in cartons, as used by most of the long rifles and machine guns fielded by the U.S. during WWII. This example is rough but contains 3 of its original bandoleers and around 15 original “projectiles”, the tip of a cartridge which has fallen out of the cartridge. The bottom of the crate still bears the original stenciled packing information:

1200 CAL. .30 BALL CARTRIDGES
MODEL 1906
FOR MODEL 1903 RIFLE
N.P. NO. D.G. .30 CALIBER LOT 294 OF 1900
MUZZLE VELOCITY 2700 FEET PER SECOND
FRANKFORD ARSENAL

The crate measures approximately 16 x 8 x 15” and is in good shape overall but is heavily worn from storage. A great WWII ammunition can great for display in any collection. Ready to add to your collection and display!
