Remember Wood Box Surplus PP Cleaning Kits?

[Combloc]

I remember when these were easy to find and cheap to buy. Now they are hard to find and I have no idea what they are worth (probably still not much).

They encapsulate what I love about German products; well made, attractive and efficient. A place for every thing and every thing in its place. Tools made with care and pride by men instead of spit out in the quadrillions by machines. Please post yours. They are always interesting to see:









Even the chain is nickle plated:



Glass bottle (no plastic here) with a bakelite cap.



I wish they still made well crafted things like this instead of the molded and impersonal stuff so common nowadays:

That's a pretty slick accessory, never seen one before.
Seen the boxed conversion kits for PP and P38 but not a cleaning kit.
Very nice grouping there!

I have one just like it I bought at a flea market at Edmondson Drive Inn back in the 70s. Maybe 1976? Guy sold it to me said it was a Nazi Officers Luger cleaning kit. When I got it home and showed the wife, she can read some German, She said it was from a Police Dept.

I think I paid around $5. Like you say, neat and very well made.

Very Nice, wish I had one to go with my PP. I can't even find a decent original box for under $50 on GB. I have never even seen the cleaning kit before, thanks for posting.

Like somd_mustangs this is my first time seeing one of these. Very cool! And yes, the plastic blow molded cases today just turn me off along with styrofoam.
