| Original field grey/green painted wooden box complete with 2 Maxim 08/15 assault drums, also in original paint finish, each with original WWI era cloth and metal tabbed belts. One is a brass tab belt the other is a steel tab belt. Horsehair anti-rattle padding still present attached to the lid of the box. Knot hole in the bottom of the box, however the knot piece that fills the hole is present for repair. Exterior of drum box paint has worn with some of the wood showing through, there is also a scattering of boring beetle damage visible on the front panel as well as on the top cover. Metal hardware fittings rusted brown with pitting but function and are serviceable. Hasps and retention hooks also completely serviceable. 1st drum is marked as manufactured by "E&G" with typical "Feuer! / Kurbel hoch" (Fire-Handle up) markings impressed at rear of drum. Spool moves freely. Belt soft, pliable and serviceable, brass tabs. Drum #2 with no visible makers mark, except for some illegible initials under the paint with the same markings on the rear of the drum. Cloth belt soft and serviceable, steel tabs rusted, faint illegible makers mark on leather tab of the belt. Exterior of 2nd drum retains about 70% of its green paint with the balance surface rusty, typical of these vintage originals. Provenance: From the collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess., |
