Hey Guys....Back in the day.....when I was stationed in Germany in the Air Force...Ramstein Air Base in the early 60s.....I got ammo to shoot my Luger at the Rod and Gun Club Range....and the boxes were labeled....FUR PISTOLEN UND MACHINEPISTOLEN....(probably WW2 Boxes)...does anyone make repros of the old WW2 9mmPistol Ammo Boxes..?....Im going to build a Presentation Case for my Luger...(I did a similar one for my son couple years ago)...and would like to have a copy of the WW Ammo Box to put in....along with the Wooden Bottom Luger Mags which you guys helped me find....Im including a photo of a "Presentation Box" I found on the Internet...its a modern remake with a reproduction Police medal....anyway.....is there a source for the remakes of the 9mm Ammo Boxes..??....again...Thanks for all the good help and advice.......Best Always....Hans

There is no reason to get a repro, there is plenty of unopened WW2 era 9mm ammo around for less than $40 a box or less

Pity we do not have them in Europe, because I would like a couple for my collection.
