An other production from this manufacturer for the Wehrmacht, this metal box carries two magazines for 2 cm Flak.30/38. Sized 38 x 26 x 13 cm, it has two carrying handles and weighs 25 kilograms full. The magazines are arranged opposite each other and blocked by snap-on inner racks at the bottom of the box, they each contain twenty shells. Ernst Hecker A.-G. also produces them under its manufacturer code "ets".

	The four holes on the lid indicate the absence of felt-covered wooden pads which keep the magazines under pressure when the box is closed (Jeremy Vouteau collection ).                     Stamped with EhA logo stylized in his cartouche, dated from 1940 and carrying the WaffenAmt number 300, this box in painting in Feldgrau RAL 6006 (Jeremy Vouteau collection ).
