p08 box ßß

The "hang tag" that was with the lead seal is still with the box. It is from the "Waffenraum" (weapon room) of "W.H.K . und L.S." Could the L.S. be for Luftschiff? I know that there isn't much information in those letters, but perhaps Klaus or some of out learned German marking experts could take a stab at identifying the marking. Might be of some significance.

Hi Rod,
I don't think the box belonged to a Luftschiff.
The box was made 1940, if the markings are right.
