Feeding problem

[Penzzz]

rhuff,
Yes, my box is tan with a brown square on the front. Inside the brown square the ammo size is noted as "7,65". Troy from Fiocchi informed me all of the ammo we're speaking about is manufactured in the same plant, in Italy. I'm going to guess the caliper designation on your box is "7.65" and that box was distributed in the America market. I'm guessing the tan box was originally distributed through the Europe market. Only speculation, not backed up by Fiocchi.

Don,
Originally I wrote to david@fiocchiusa.com (as per fiocchiusa.com website) and all follow-on correspondence was via service@fiocchiusa.com. My case hasn't been cleared up yet, so please don't reference this discussion.

Keep in mind that there are individuals contributing to Luger forums who have no problem with the most recent iteration of Fiocchi's Luger ammo, the black/charcoal striped box.

If you search around you'll find there is a Fiocchi website in the U.K.. My request for assistance from that site resulted in no response.

Hope this helps,
Jeff

This sounds like a solid explanation for why we have the "same' 7.65 Para ammo in a different colored box. Mine is exactly like the ammo box shown by sheepherder, and mine does have the lot # on the inside of one flap, which is why I reported that my lot was the same as yours.

We have a mystery involving Europe and the USA.... and who knows where else!!
