My Father-in-Law bought this at a gun show and was wondering the value.

30 round feed strip of Japanese 7.7 Semi Rim. for type 92 m.g. feed strip with 30 original rounds in the original box.
Note: Box has a small tear at one seam. All of box intact.
Note: Rounds have been demilled.
Note: Bullets have <u>not</u> been bulled for demill.

In the box was found this letter:

Because of the documentation you have certifing the gun as a war souv. and you have all that paper I would think it is of great value.
If I were you I would try and see if Thurman R. Webb or his family is still around
