Product Description

This unique collectible is a World War II-era South African ammunition box designed to hold a 250-round belt of .303 caliber ammunition for the iconic Vickers Machine Gun. The box, constructed from durable materials to endure the rigors of combat, features its original wartime khaki green paint finish and retains historical authenticity with visible period markings, including the WW2 South African manufacturing stamps and dates.

Contained within is an intact 250-round machine gun belt crafted from original khaki webbing fabric, which was specifically designed for the Vickers Gun's sustained-fire capabilities. The belt is pre-loaded with 250 inert .303 caliber rounds, providing a complete and historically accurate representation of the ammunition configuration used during the war. Each round has been carefully rendered inert, making this display both safe and suitable for collectors, historical enthusiasts, and museum exhibits.

This artifact embodies the history and craftsmanship of the era, reflecting South Africa's contribution to the Allied war effort. The box's compact design, functional clasp, and carrying handles demonstrate its practicality in wartime logistics, while its weathered condition adds authenticity, with marks and wear from its service life.

Perfect for collectors of militaria, this South African ammunition box and belt is not only a striking display piece but also a tangible link to the past. Whether as a centerpiece for a WW2 collection, a prop for historical reenactments, or an educational tool, this item provides a glimpse into the equipment that powered one of the most reliable and iconic machine guns of its time.
