Metal German 30 gun transport chest

I'll throw in a guess before he answers. 72 pounds of Lugers, plus 15 pounds of crate, so I'm guessing 87 pounds total, give or take.

I think the can is repurposed from another use, as there are brackets riveted to the inside that don't seem to have anything to do with the wooden rack or the P-08's.

I think you are spot on with the weight. As for the can I added another pic with the racks removed. Whatever was original intended to go in this I don't know? I was hoping someone here might have seen some old photos of them packing up guns or unloading them in WWII.
