Hi

First post....does anyone have the dimensions of the German 7.92 ammunition case/box?

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Bill

I made my maiden speech today too.

I joined today.

Guess I'm a little more impetuous than you.

Good luck with the question

Hi Bill

Congratulations on your first post.

There were a few types of German WW1 MG ammo boxes produced that had a 500 round capacity but the most common box is the Patronenkaste 15 with a 250 round capacity. They are easily identified as the handle is offset to one side making it easier carrying 2 together in one hand.

Here is a photo of one Patronenkaste 15 from my MG08 display.

The dimensions are 357mm x 177mm x 85mm
