Wooden gun rack made by POWS in 1918 at Fort Napier, Pietermaritzburg. German hunting inscription " Weidmans Heil", with name Gustav Weyer. Bottom ammunition box inscribed "Patrone Kasten". Oval inscription at back, Fort Napier, Natal, Camp 2, 1918.
There has been restoration done. Replacement of some gun hooks and coat hooks, rest all original. Lid of storage box and coat hook back lighter due to sealant being removed. There is damage by wood borer which has been restricted. Valuable and rare piece. This piece originates from the Eastern Cape being in the possession of generations of Germans settlers.
