Could that be a screw from one of those infamous ammo boxes? Or would they be bigger, made of brass to avoid rusting?
Nice display, is there room in the frame for a print or photo?
Hi
Have been told it probably is ammo screw as it is bent like a few others I have seen in books due to frantic attempts to open them !!
good idea about photo will get them better displayed
thanks

Given to me by my dad who in the 1970,s lived in SA and was given these items as a present by a zulu guide who had found these items over many years of walking the battlefields,its now against the law to search any SA Battlefield for relics.
found them in the loft recently and have had them displayed.
think there are martini cartridges,bullets,musket ball,looks like bottle top,ammo box screw,and button.
they are probebly quite rare and very intresting.
