Rare box of ammo
 

Thought I'd share, this is a box of early ammo - no rounds in it unfortunately, but the box is in exceptionally nice shape! If I say so myself :roflmao:
I did wrap in shrink wrap, probably should have taken pictures before because of slight glare, but I didn't want it getting damaged.

7.65mm and supposed to be for a carbine. Since I've never seen a real box of this, I bought it.

It is nicely marked DWM on the end flap and funny enough, A.E. underneath, which I am sure does not mean American Eagle, although it was imported by Stoeger :)

A Fine Example~

You got me there. Where is that stated?

Always learning. :bowdown:

I did not know either, I just thought it was an early box. Someone much smarter than me told me what it was :cheers:
I am always learning and appreciate the folks who help me and all of us :jumper:

Pardon me Ed but this is a fine reference on this subject~http://cartridgecollectors.org/?page...ger-cartridges

Was the bullet blackened, or the cartridge case??? I've been wondering what these were for years...They're 9mm and I was told they were SMG rounds...

The carbine cartridge case was blackened, the bullets usually are cupro-nickle. What is the headstamp on your loose rounds?

Very nice box Ed, rounds above look like German WWII rounds but headstamp will tell.

Fascinating box,;thanks for sharing.
