Well, I won the first box I was watching. This one may require some repairs to the latch area and a new leather strap handle but these are easy and I only paid $21.50. Still has original markings on the exterior and the directional-ammo markings inside are still visible! I will not want to paint over this one because of its great patina so I will continue biding on boxes like the $9.00 auction in case I do need to add a coat of heat-shield paint.
