i didnt really know where else to post this and if its breaking any rules please let me know. i recent came into a ww2 (i think) looking ammo box, with a bit of digging ive come to think that is this: http://bit.ly/1G4yqWe but the codes (i guess thats what they are called) are not the same and are incredibly faded, also what was it used for, and were they attached to guns, as there is a stand looking thing under the latch (visible in picture 1). the pics of mine are: http://imgur.com/BdfbmMQ http://imgur.com/rxNw24S http://imgur.com/T5G2xwi the writing on the faded side is:

LOT 213 - 1v1 (or I v I i cant tell) - 71

thanks in advance: Hobo
