Do you believe the 'door hinge' is original??? No doubt about it. ALL original P-Kasten I know of were made this way. Strange that the Germans would use only the one hinge but that's the way they were made.

Eric,
thanks for posting your reproduction box; I can see two differences in the picture from my box: -the front latches hinge the opposite way -the wire handles on the sides are smaller diameter(or at least appear to be) Really well done box for sure. ![]()

Don, Eric's box is an exact copy of mine. They all have slight differences in hardware.

Case in point, each of Patrice's three boxes has different hardware.

This was a huge project made by at least 4 members each focusing on each seperate part. The actual wood was used and the hardware handmade. Can someone repost the narrative as it is facinating undertaking. Its an exact duplicate of Georges' piece and was used as a template for Jerry and his crew! I'm so proud to own one of the few that were made! Eric
