Cal 7.65 mm Ammo question follow up

3 Attachment(s)

This is a follow up as to my request to ID some 7.65 ammo. Well, bought the box, took some picks and info. Shown below is box in question. Stamped on the bottom of the cartridge is
'2', 'D', 'T', '69' . I assume the '69' is the of manufacture. If so, not so old after all. The year I joined the Coast Guard. Any ideas? .32 auto maybe? Country of manufacture?
Thanks, Bill

Almost certainly .32 ACP. If you have any .380 rounds, compare the case length. Should be the same (17mm).

ETA: I see "Eidg. Munitionsfabrik Thun" on the box. Looks to me like Swiss manufacture.

Correct, the box is Swiss. Manufactured in Thun in 1969.

Is this kind of odd in the states? or regularly imported? If anyone can make use of this ammo, I'd be pleased to send it along. I just bought it out of curiosity.
Thanks, Bill

I have a couple Ermas in .32 ACP. P.M. me if it needs a good home!
