WWI M1917 Ammo Box Used for S&W .38 Storage

While I had this out, thought someone might find it interesting. Used as a long term storage box for S&W .38 revolvers,

it has 5 serial no. listed and is box no. 225. It was going to be painted OD and thrown on one of WWII jeeps in the parade, until I saw it. I suspect it was for the M&P .38s stored sometime after WWI. I threw in one of my WWII Navy S&W for size reference. Of course, if you have any other knowledge about the storage, let me know.

That is really interesting, glad it wasn't repainted. Thanks for posting it. If all 225 boxes held five revolvers each,1125, quite a large number of pistols!

U R welcome, Brian. It boggles the imagination thinking about 225+ boxes of guns sitting in storage. I may have to find 5 revolvers to put with it and display them altogether :blink:

regards,
