Value of loose 7.92 Kurz - dated WW2 - now with pics!
 
Hey all, still in process of getting my holsters photographed. Came across a .30 can full of minty 7.92 Kurz ammo (for mp43 or mp44). They are dated 44 and 45, any idea what price I should put them up for?

I have seen $1 - $2 a round for them elsewhere but wondered if you guys have any input. In a perfect world I would keep them for a MP44 for myself - but I dont see that happening any time soon :) Maybe if I make one of those phony eBay ads and say that these came from Hitler's private stock that he used to hunt squirrels at the Eagle's Nest?

Thanks guys!

Actually he hunted Eagles in a Squirrel's nest, but that's beside the point.:D

A full can, mint and un-messed with is unheard of, you have a real gem and goes far beyond the value of each individual round. Take your time in selling this...wish it were mine.

Actuallly I think there's a case flaoting around of post-war stuff - might be DDR but I think it's Czech. I will post images of these cartridges later too.

Always satisfying when you open an ammo can and get that 'whoosh' of air from years back. Chances are that this ammo has been in this can for about 30 years at least.

Thanks for the feedback!

Quick question on primers. Here are some primers that look pristine:

Amd here are other rounds that look like there is some 'crud' on the primers. Is this normal, is this to be expected with age, does this affect operation?
