BKIW / DWM vintage .30 luger box

Got this box in last week. It was a bit of a restoration project as it literally fell apart.

These boxes don't show up that often so I was quite happy finding one, even in the acquired state. This is the result after some restoration and conservation work.

The name on the sides (Berlin Karlsruher Industriewerke AG, vormals Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken) help to date the box between June, 1933 and June 1936. A 'GERMANY' rubber stamp marking at the bottom shows that it was most likely an export box intended for the US.
