The thing I don’t quite get is, with millions of 98k rifles made, why are these crates so rare? To the point we’re not even sure exactly what they even looked like, outside of some pics? Even if only a small percentage of them survived, seems like there would still be a fair amount left? Even if GIs didnt want to bother lugging one home or shipping it, I’d at least think they could be found in European collections or formerly repurposed on farms or any other place where sturdy wooden boxes would’ve been useful postwar...
