manufacturers mark I think. Haven't got a clue which.

I'll post some more pix soon...

[history1]

Most likely the shortcut for Mineralölwerke Rhenania-Ossag Mineralölwerke AG, nowadays Shell Deutschland Oil GmbH.

Hi,
The last image brings me memories. More than 30 years ago, me and my daddy were also digging around somewhere in Lapland, and we found similar things, but when I came to here in Peru, I needed to leave them behind.
Cheers

Powder can. WaA CUX? Who was it?

[history1]

WAA (= Army acceptance mark - on devices that have been officially approved by the manufacturer). CUX is most likely the abbreviation of the city Cuxhaven in Germany.

some sort of can lid. Secured with tape. Strange colour. Found with some ammo and other stuff. more pix comig soon...
Meanwhile somebody could tell something about this lid. size can be estimated from the floor planks (100mm)

[edelweiss]

CUX = Heller & Strohm Metallwarenfabrik, (vorm. Metallindustrie G.m.b.H.) Schwenningen a.N., Goethestrasse 19

this is where the powder can is made.

Provide source.
This company isn´t mentioned in the web, not with this name and not with the old one. The city you mention is Villingen-Schwenningen (since 1972), before it´s name was Schwenningen am Neckar.

I got all the letter codes that the germans have stamped in a book, it is a copy of the original code book that was top secret in the war. In the book u can find the code and their manufactor, like i typed it, is how it stands in the book. sorry for the bad English

Thanks edelweiss for your info it´s much appreciated. Can you give us the book title? And don´t worry about your English, mine is not better (That´s the fate of people whose mother language isn´t English).

Can't be, the shape of magazine used in SVT is completely different and also not AVS-36 or Lahti-Saloranta magazine. The structural design in somewhat unusual - possibly Madsen?
