bofors tin
I have a couple with an angled division. Is it correct to think that there are different tins for ammo in clips and the boxes already shown?

40mm Bofor ammunition boxes
Thanks guys for posting the photos. I am actually asking the question on someones behalf.
Lynn I understand that there were more than one type of box, the one shown in the photos and a thinner upright type with an "X" on the top. But I have not seen this type before. Cheers Kevin |

There was also a Naval box for Bofors Ammunition which was a galvanised or stainless upright box with an airtight rubber seal which contained 4 4rd chargers.
