Hi, Thanks. Yeah I did open it- empty. I had seen some for sale with the labels on the outside- that indicated 120mm mortar round fuses, but then again- if 88mm fuse fits, why not?
@@FreeAmericaChannel I agree. I had found metal containers on several occasions for KwK-40 75mm shells that were designed and used for main gun in Panzer IV tanks, and STUG assault guns. Those containers were closed and contained 75mm HE shells for Le.IG 18 light infantry howitzer- which means that soldiers in artillery units either "borrowed" or re-used shell containers left by tank or assault gun crews.
Nice find. Did you get it open? I have some of those as well. I believe they were for FLAK 88 fuses. I wonder if they were used with mortars as well.

@@karamelles98 I'm sure the Germans made use of interchangeable containers, like you said, why not?
