69 Grenade container

Pickings are tough these days but I did find this. I won't touch
it, but I'm sure a proper and careful cleaning by it's next owner will bring out
the markings even more and remove some surface rust. A big fuss
is made over 36 grenade boxes, but I think any for the 69 is even scarcer
from what I haven't seen.

Inside the box

An image of the inside, it looks like it had been filled in 1944 first
from a bit of a previous marking.
I'll have it at next Saturdays military show in Etobicoke and if don't
sell it there I'll put it on Evilbay ~
I have no room for it !
