Reproduction ammunition box closures

[justin]

Does anyone know of a source for reproduction closures for British ammo boxes? I am looking for both the wire and pressed metal varieties shown below.

I’ve never seen reproduction fasteners, but if you keep an eye open at militaria fairs, flea markets, junk shops, etc., you will probably find poor condition/damaged boxes that you could salvage the fasteners from. Also lookout for wormed/broken H51 wooden boxes that used the same fasteners.
How many are you looking for?

Thanks - I picked up a couple recently with that intention, but decided I want to keep them and fix them up too. I need about 5 of the wire fasteners and 3 of the pressed type. I can just about make the closed wire loops that act as hinges.
