Today I received a 1943 dated footlocker with inner tray chocked full of some neat stuff. Once I get the chance to inventory and get photos of all the stuff, I'll post some pics.

My fricken goodness. Interested in moving the German items to the German? In particular the k98 cleaning kit and the chess/checker board (come with pieces?).
