Another nice one from Bill Grist. For the Pak97/38 which is such an oddball gun. it’s a captured French 7.5cm gun, put on a German carriage from an outdated 4-5cm Pak, and fitted with a Swiss muzzle brake.

Nice tiny mine fusing box. Great stencils and labels. Looks like a second label fell into the bottom of the box where it remained. One half of the leather strap broken. Considering using a broken piece of sling to repair but haven’t done it yet. Maker marked can’t make out a date.
A big Canadian find. Biggest German crate I’ve seen in North America myself. Although I’m sure there’s larger ones. Made in 35 it was reissued several times with markings being painted over and new markings applied. Labels are there just barely, and clearly over old ones. For two 120lbs. SC50 JB3 type, grade II.
I’ll add some period photos over time that I’ve saved over the years.
