This is an extremely hard to find Luger accessory from the WWI period, an original wooden storage and carry chest for the LP08 Artillery Luger pistol snail drum magazines. The chest measures 17 inches wide, 9 inches high and 6 1/2 inches deep. The interior is compartmentalized to hold five snail drum (Trommel) magazines securely, along with a loading tool and boxes of ammunition. The chest has dovetailed construction with a grey/green paint. There is a large stenciled "P." in fading white paint on the front, and a faint but visible ink stamping inside the lid. The lid is hinged to open toward the back and has two hinged clasps with swinging hooks to secure. There are metal carry handles mounted on each end of the chest. All of the hardware are the originals.
