Looks like a valve cover gasket...with no bolt holes.	Fits Patronenkasten 41 Cans. The name is stamped on each end.	M34 or M41? M41 have the latch on the end of the can while M34's have it on top. M34's do not have a gasket.

New, die cut rubber gaskets for the Patronenkasten 41 ammunition cans. Although one can cut these by hand, it's a major pain to do. Using an original, we had a cutting die made and punch these out of new 3mm rubber.

Note! Patronenkasten 34's do NOT have a gasket.

Installing: Just like valve cover gaskets, removing the old one ranges from fairly easy to a living hell, depending on whether the gasket is still soft or has fossilized. Pry the lips of the retaining bands back with a flat blade screw driver, then peel or chisel the old gasket out.

To install, I found it helpful to put a little black gasket sealer at each end, seat the new gasket, then push the sheet metal lip back into place with a piece of wood- such as a tool or paintbrush handle, tent peg or similar.

Cut in USA. (Not sure where the rubber comes from.)
