Could someone help identify this box and bag? Likely pre-1955 German, possibly an ammo box?
I won an auction lot recently for some camping gear and a "metal box". There were no pictures of the inside of the box, turns out it had this canvas and leather bag in it with someone's name and ID number (?) painted on it.
R/whatisthisthing has helped me work out that the letters on the handmade sign likely refer to Deutsche Werke Kiel, dating this to pre-1955 at the latest.
I'm guessing the box is an ammo box but would love to know exactly what it was for. It's quite a big box so possibly large shells for German artillery, since they were building warships in Kiel at the time? Google lens hasn't been able to tell me what it was for.
Could someone tell me a little more about what this is? Would like to know if it's worth keeping/sharing with an enthusiast before my other half uses it as a planter...
