Metal P.38 shipping containers...
 

Hello to all, I posted this on the P.38 forum with no replies?? So, I thought I'd ask here, as the crates would probably work just as well for 4" barrel Lugers, but then again, maybe not with the different grip angle...:jumper: Anyway, as soon as I hear some price suggestions, onto the sales forum here...
Soooo, when the bulk of the P38s were imported in the last go around, they were shipped in metal shipping boxes holding, I think, quantity 30 P38's, with all the appropriate padding and such...does anyone know approximately what one of these is worth on the current marketplace?? I have two I'm considering selling or trading..But really have no idea as to value, etc... Anyone with an interest or info can email me at gctomeks@msn.com best to all, til...lat'r....GT :wink:

post war
 

Hi Rich, post war?? Most likely.... I never really gave it that much thought.. there was a big scramble to get them 20 years ago... I heard tell that most were just tossed?? I'll take some pics today, and perhaps someone can help me post them..??... As I'm fairly challenged on computers.. :)... best to all, til....lat'r....GT

GT,

You can email the photos to me and I will be glad to post them for you... You just keep doing what you do best on them there machines! :D

Gt, these are like the picture on front page of p38 forum?

IIRC these shipping containers were of WW2 vintage, but were recycled from WW2 ammunition or hand grenade shipping containers.

I wouldn't mind owning one, though. Nice WW2 / Russian Capture / End of Cold War story in one box.

actually...
 

The ones I have are metal?? I also have a wooden one as pictured, and as Gerben said, it is a converted ammo crate.. I'll get some pics to John.. probably tomorrow.. best to all, til...lat'r...GT:)
