K98 crate

just got this today.

front



back



side



inside. i had a very tough time arranging the blocks of wood so the cutouts lined up right, this is the only way i could make sense of the arrangement, so it would hold one set of rifles facing one way, and the other set facing the other way.




there is what appears to be some sticker someone put on the front, and some screws in the top i am not sure of... but they are VERY OLD rusted flat head screws, ( 3 of them ) and whoever put them in there, did it decades ago.



any comments / questions or opinion on value would be appreciated.

It looks to be a post war built crate- the ones I've seen that are supposedly wartime are very plain inside, with just a few racks to separate the guns, and none of the felt.

I'd say it's worth at least $50 just because. I bought one of the "original" type long ago for $25.00 and it cost $25.00 to ship it! The UPS man comes banging up the sidewalk dragging it behind him with just a tag hanging off of it.

Russian post war, I have unpacked quite a few of them with the rebuilt k98's inside. JH
