A very nice original ZF4 wooden box and WaA359 mount/rig I recently acquired. Note the can numbering on both the lid and the side.
I'm very happy with this one and just showing it.
Just a few pics here but I've made an album of about 40 images on my Flickr page if you feel inclined to view them.

Nice case. I have always liked the wood cases more than the metal ones. Plus someone is making extremely good fake metal cans. I don’t think I will ever buy another one. Thanks for sharing

May I ask what your lighting setup is? Or perhaps you have a picture? The photos you post are some of the nicest archival genre pictures I've seen in this community.

Strobes (older Paul Buff/White Lightning flash) shot into umbrellas and this is the reflected light on the subject. I'm using an ancient Canon 5D Mark II DSLR and shooting in the lowest RAW size output, not jpeg, then Adobe PS Lightroom 5 (standalone--pre-subscription version) and final output is actually a rather small file size jpeg for Internet posting. Sometimes the shallow DOF is quite noticeable thus multiple images to catch more detail.
Modern continuous lighting would be easier but I use what I already have and I like how it shows good detail. I used to shoot large format film (8x10) as a hobbyist and so I have plenty of lighting gear for this easy task.

Joseph, Nice find! As jack944 said... find the matching rifle? Maybe you will!
