These are Quran cases. Moroccan. I would be very surprised to discover they were dual purpose as bullet carrying boxes. The Bullet box is another dimension altogether being much smaller....and can be found on Library..at http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...oroccan+bullet

Please see https://images.search.yahoo.com/sear...e&fr=chr-yo_gc

The Hirz or lucky charm box as worn by Omani silver wearers....women...is usually closed with pitch so as not to lose the written verse if carried in the box...In the case of the Moroccan Quran carrying case ...it being much larger...an entire Quran can be carried...but I cannot see how it could have a secondary use...for ammunition.

A Moroccan Bullet box will magically appear here in a moment....

please see https://images.search.yahoo.com/sear...fp&fr2=piv-web Third row down and 4th from the left.

The frontal design of the #1 project item is as for the Moroccan religious carpet and on the reverse is a geometric figure 5 format (hand of Fatima related) which is Talismanic.

Ibrahiim al Balooshi.
