No Waffenamts on the lid anywhere? That's odd.

So far i couldnt find any stamps.
Notable is the color, maybe used by the kriegsmarine?

Does any other nation produced the patronenkasten during or after the war ?

Well that's a cool one. Hopefully this mystery is solved, would be interesting to see if this is wartime or not. Certainly simplified for faster production and less material usage.

singe similiar patronenkasten, even on trader sites like kpemig not a single one of them.

Might try posting the same pictures/question on

Lots of members from the EU on there who might know the origin.
