"Imperial german uboat navy luger box WW1"

Hi Christian, That watertight bronze storage box is genuine Imperial Navy, and was intended to keep P08 ammo dry on Uboats. They are very rare and very expensive, and I believe there are only one or two here in the US. Unfortunately the one in the auction looks like it's been buffed (polished) which will have a devastating effect on it's value. An unpolished one would sell for $5,000.00 or more.
Regards, Norm
