1918 ammo - luger & browning long
3 Attachment(s)
I came across these two today - was at an antique shop, was totally surprised to find them in a guy who sells militaria! They'll look a lot nicer after I wrap them in shrink wrap...
First box is 9mm Browning Long - unopened! Quote:
Both military, interesting finds :) Ed |
Most interesting. That was a special find for sure.
|
Good Stuff!

Pick up at Walmart, if your state allows ~ Winchester, White Box, 9mm/luger~
|
Very special finding Ed, surely here in Europe it would be impossible to find a box of live cartridges in an antique shop.

Smaller Depression era bowl - gotta be green - my friend Bill and Mary will understand this picture :) and something common but not ever looked at by me, a small bank book. This 1911 is almost life scale, made from metal (they said aluminum, but its not light) and makes a nice addition, I already have a Luger, should have bought the P38 I saw at another shop (likely same dealer, as it was same town and same type of stuff sold) :cheers: |
Nice find! :cheers: 9mm Browning Long is a totally obsolete caliber, and finding a pistol in that caliber is not easy. As far as I know, it was only used in FN 1903 and the Swedish M/07 (which are basically the same gun).
You can actually find Swedish surplus right now, seems like somebody brought in a large shipment a few years ago and you can still find it for reasonable money: https://www.libertytreecollectors.co...&idcategory=12 . I lucked out and found an M/07 in original caliber, so I bought 10 boxes of 1941 production from Samco (before they went bankrupt and closed the doors :( ) to go with it. Haven't test fired yet, but the ammo is sure cheap enough to shoot. |
Ed, I like the 9 luger box of ammo, email me if you are parting with it. John

Nice find.
Headstamps are from Rheinische Metallwaarenfabrik in Sommerda. (Rheinmetall). |
Nice finds Ed. I wish the 9x19 label was complete.
Adamstown was one of the reasons we started our Denver/Morgantown, PA cartridge show where we did, now back about 23 years ago. Some of the wives really like the outlets and antique shops in the area. Might that 1911 be a holster-maker form? |

Been always told they were training guns, but who knows? Have you ever seen any german military 9m Browning Long? |

Hi Ed, here's a 1917 pkt to go with it :)
|
The cast 1911 looks like the ones that came out of the MGM auction back in the 1980s.
I have a SAA and a S&W revolver that look just like this. They were made to dress up background extras in movies, where the extras did not participate in the action. |

Or could it be one of the Lytle Novelty Company guns...?

Ed-
Any Swedish, Austrian, or Belgian 9mm BL could have been used by the Germans, but there are a few headstamps that really fit the bill: -Austrian H 5 18 -German S / 6 / 16 / / -Belgian F N 08 -German RWS 1932 The above are all believed to have been used by German military forces. There may be others I don't know about, but these are in my collection. |
Thanks, will try to take picture tomorrow, as I've wrapped it and it looks nicer, easier to read I think.
