Post war ammo boxes

[M.Rimmer]

A local guy I know was clearing out his barn today and I noticed some post war British ammo boxes,these are the standard small 7.62 tins as used with the GPMG but what I hadn't seen before was the carrying cradle which takes four of the boxes. Are these unusual? all were dated 1966. He also has three 105 artillery boxes,these take 2 rounds each,dated 1965.

 

I'd like the 7.62 boxes with cradle but wanted to know are they common as muck before making an offer.

 

Thanks,

 

Matt.

Common as muck!

one dealer at W&P was selling 4 tins plus cradle for £20 the lot.
