Product description
This is a unique item with a story: an authentic military ammunition box for stick grenades, transformed into a potential characterful wine crate. Its industrial and robust design makes it a real eye-catcher in any interior. The 8cm Granatwerfer 34 (Gr.W.34) was the standard mortar of the infantry in the Wehrmacht during World War II. The ammunition was supplied in metal containers like this; few have been preserved, and even fewer examples still have their original internal insert. These containers were usually discarded after use or repurposed after the war, making them increasingly difficult for collectors to find. A unique piece of military history for the serious collector. The box is made of metal with a sand-colored, beige exterior and is equipped with a sturdy handle and clasps. Originally designed for transporting stick grenades or ammunition, the internal holder now offers an original way to store wine bottles or glasses. The combination of the weathered exterior and the rusty interior gives it an authentic, lived-in look. The condition of the box testifies to its history. The clear signs of use, such as rust and worn paint, are not defects but rather contribute to the unique character and vintage charm of the object. This box is perfect as a striking decorative piece or a functional wine or drink holder in an industrial, vintage, or eclectic interior. It is an item that is guaranteed to spark conversation.
