Hello Folks -
Here is one of today's finds from the local Antique Mall. It is a storage and/or carrying box for the French Vivien-Bessiere Grenade. Cost was $32.
Granted it is a Post-war date, but I've never seen another and perhaps the box itself is carried over. This one was sent back home, as the address is on both sides and the bottom. Looks like from a fellow in a WW2 Signal Service Unit. Holds 48 VB Grenades.
Sorry for the quality of the photos, but it's snowing out and I'm keeping warm!
Thanks for looking!
- Best Regards! Mike
