A unique, historical artifact related to military economy and logistics of the World War II period. The presented item is an original, zinc container intended for storing and protecting a horse's identification document. Containers of this type are rare and extremely interesting evidence of an era in which horses still played a key role in transport and cavalry, and their identification and registration were of significant military importance.

The container is made of characteristic, thin sheet zinc, resistant to corrosion, which was to ensure the durability of the stored document in field conditions. Its form – most likely a small, airtight can or case – was designed so that it could be attached to a harness or stored in a stable. The item comes from the territory of Poland and is dated to the first half of the 20th century, with particular emphasis on the period of World War II.

Who is this item for?

• Collectors of militaria – as an authentic element of military equipment and logistics.
• Enthusiasts of World War II history – especially those interested in the less obvious aspects of military life.
• Collectors of Varsaviana and historical memorabilia – related to the history of Poland in the 20th century.
• Enthusiasts of hippology and the history of military veterinary medicine – as a unique item documenting the status of horses in service.

This zinc container is more than just a metal box. It is a material trace of the thousands of horses that served during the war, and of the systems of their identification. It is an original and rarely encountered collectible object of great historical and documentary value, ideal for an advanced military or historical collection.
