World War One United States military. 1915 colt vickers wooden ammunition box. It retains its original, thinning and scuffed OD green paint. It has Scrubbed patches both front and back.

Likely old period unit markings removed. And a few random paint splatters. The bottom is scraped up from wear and tear. There is some slight remnant of crud in the interior, easily scraped out if desired.

Only about 2 of the original leather carry strap is intact. It shows signs of use and age.

The hinge and closing latch operate as they should. The bottom of the box is worn. After all - it's over 110 years old!

The common Browning style boxes were Only 12 1/2 inches long. These rare Colt-Vickers boxes are 15 inches long. And they don't have that slanted angle along the bottom seen on the typical' browning' boxes.

(the pitch or distance between rounds on the m15 belt, dictated the use of a longer feed box). The model 1915 was phased out of service before the war even ended. Most were ordered destroyed or simply dumped at sea. The ammo boxes didn't fit the browning cradle so they were ordered to be destroyed in mass. Few exist today, in any condition!

Don't pass it up! A rare relic from the Great War.

A must have for advanced WWI collections.
