Vintage wooden 7.7 Ball MK7 ammunition box. This old box was manufactured on 27/3/1966. It has 2 bars at the top which lock in the lid, and rope handles. I would assume that this box would have held ammunition used for the SADF border war. It measures 42cm x 28cm x 23cm, and is in fair condition for its age. Great buy for the militaria collector.
