Product Description
The Original Russian Maxim Ammunition Box is a rare and authentic military collectible, offering a glimpse into the firepower of early 20th-century warfare. Designed to hold 50 rounds of 7.62x54R ammunition, this rugged steel box was used to supply the legendary Maxim M1910 machine gun, a staple of Russian and Soviet forces from World War I through World War II and beyond.
Inside, the box contains 50 inert 7.62x54R cartridges, securely linked in an original Maxim 50-round steel belt with a starter tab. These belts were essential for feeding the Maxim gun, ensuring a continuous and reliable rate of fire. The steel construction of the belt provides durability, while the starter tab facilitates smooth loading into the weapon's feed system.
The ammunition box itself is built from heavy-gauge steel, designed to withstand the rigors of battlefield use. Its aged patina, stenciled markings, and period-accurate details add to its authenticity, making it a highly sought-after piece for collectors, reenactors, and military historians. The box often features Russian or Soviet markings, indicating its origin and production period.
While the rounds are completely inert (making them safe for display), they maintain the correct dimensions and weight, preserving the historical integrity of the set. This makes the piece an ideal display item for collectors of Cold War or World War-era militaria.
Whether as a conversation piece, a reenactment prop, or a part of a historical collection, this Original Russian Maxim Ammunition Box with 50 inert 7.62x54R rounds in a steel belt is a striking relic of military history, embodying the rugged engineering and enduring legacy of one of the most iconic machine guns ever built.
