I have a good/closeish replica of the ammo box which will soon be going on Ebay, I just can't get the hang of this attaching a picture lark as I am a computer idiot, if you wish to see pictures of the box then please get in touch on here and give me your e-mail address so that I can e-mail you some images, sorry but, I'm bloody useless with modern technology, if there is an easy way to get these pictures to the forum then let me know!!!
It should be going on Ebay near the end of this month - early May, I'll post on here when I put it on.

Well, it was made for me and cost me a couple of hundred pounds some time ago! It was nowhere near as good condition when I got it as it had no straps on it (Broken off with a few screws sheared off in the wood) and most of the wood was painted a horrible reddish colour, I was told it would need finishing.
i will put it on with a reserve and see how we go?
Probably start around £100, this is a heavy, fairly accurate replica and I won't be too upset if it doesn't sell!
I spoke to the person who made it and he's thinking of making a few more if there is a demand, this one took a few months to make.

Sold the box on ebay, there were quite a few watching it, is there any interest if there were more of these boxes available. My friend made this one for me, it would be possible he says, to make a few more probably less expensive than the one on ebay?
He rekons he can produce a box a month, anyone interested?
