WW2 German Luftwaffe Oak Ammunition Crate - $100 (Cordata)
QR Code Link to This Post
During WW2 my father worked for the Air Warfare Analysis Section (AWAS) outside of Harrow, not far from RAF Bentley Priory. He told me of a field that contained downed German aircraft being analyzed by the RAF that he scrounged the case from. I always thought that field was next to the AWAS facility, but it's possible it could have been next to Bentley Priory. A more likely scenario is that my father had to go down to the RAF Establishment facilities in Farnborough on official business, and it is well documented that German planes were kept there.
The case measures 16.5” x 4.75” x 11.5” and weighs about 5 pounds. The hardware could be polished, and the oak cleaned and oiled.
