Hello,
I'm looking for information on this box, which is 15cm in diameter and approximately 8cm high.

I haven't been able to find any documentation on the subject.
Thanks for all.

As you probably know, the oblong box - as marked - is for detonators. The tin is similar to containers for safety fuse. Similar British tin shown for comparison.

An example used in conjunction with demolition charges (sometimes found as part of 'self-destruct' apparatus). A direct translation for the cord shown is 'Black Powder Fuze'

The oblong box for detonators can contain 15 sprengkapseln Nr. 8. The detonators were used in a variety of Zundern - see attached photo which shows the typical pioneer accessories for S-Mines.

Thanks, but it's the round box I'm trying to identify.

It has a support specifically for holding the box of 15 detonators.
