Old French 9mm ammo
 

hey guys, I bought this a couple of years ago at a gun shop... I think it is the same thing that Randy Bessler has on his website, but mine is in 9mm... More rare, common????

Randy's link to ammo: http://www.collectorfirearms.us/Ammu...scriptions.htm

Value for this?

Hey Ed,

Your ammo is a typical marking on commercial cartridges produced by "Societe Francaise de Munitions" formerly Gevelot & Gaupillat ; Paris

What is the roman numerals or markings in the one segment on the headstamp ???? can't read it from picture glare.......... I see the SFM and the stars but cant discern what the other marks are ?????

this ammo appears to have been produced in timeframe from 1930- 1939 but my reference material is a bit sketchy ..............

Value ?????? is a subjective thing as we all know.........i know i couldn't afford $ 400 a box for it................especially while momentarily unemployed at this time.........

BTW, you still coming to Chattanooga in the near future ??...............

Regards, Paul

hey Paul, apprecaite the help.

why yes, I am flying out to Chattanooga June 12th :) Can we hook up then? I will be there until that Thursday AM...

Will check the markings later after I get home ;)


Ed

The other marks are G and G
As you said SFM for Soci�©t�© Fran�§aise de Munitions ,
the two stars ,
GG for G�©velot & Gaupillat.
