Was looking for a flak magazine for years, but they were always in europe and pain to import. A friend found this local to him and I grabbed it when he offered it. Came with the two rounds as well. One live being a ball or AP round, and one Deactivated HE.
The magazine is just plain funny. Way too big for a mag, its ridiculous but neat. It is 43 marked with waa on body, floorplate and follower. I put it and the rounds up against a K43 magazine and 8x57 for fun.
The germans were forward thinking as we all know, even down to the small plastic or glass window in the mag to indicate a full load.

I know!!!! It's on my list to buy if I ever find one here! They are sweet. Someday I'll find one. And collectible or not, this live round is getting blasted. Hahahaha
 
Here's a set of Olympia (E/280) made mags, from 1939. One repainted can, and one orig. Mags & repaint came from a buddy, who had maybe 14-20 mags + boxes.... he also had 2 cm barrels, filled gunners tool box, gun sights, optics AND he had a period deuce truck he wanted to mount them on... good times!
