One seems to be dated June 1944!

The 1920 .32 Automatic Colt is more impressive... :p

What exactly is a "Full Patch Bullet"???

And what is .9% Luger Smokeless??? Oh, OK...It's not %, it's an early Metric font...c/m?...9/10ths of a centimeter???...Now that is cool!!! :D

("Hey Tony - Whatchu shooting?"..."Oh, it's nine-tenths centimeter Luger"..."Oh, yeah...Sure...") :D

IIRC, the "High Pressure Test" ammunition is a 20% overload...I wonder how that compares to +P+???

1896 or later S&W revolver, .32 Colt New Police, or .32 Harrington & Richardson. Surely others as well. Still made. I have a box of it, new, for my Gasser 8mm revolver.

The box says "13 Grs. Powder"...I hope that's black powder...13 grs of anything else in a 32 is going to be a whopper!!! :D

(Does that say "48 Grs bullet"??? That's awful light...Gotta be "98 Grs"...)

Before lugers I collected any ammo old. After I purchased my first luger I sought luger ammo and thanks to Jerry Burney for the beautifull drum box and George Anderson for everything else! Whenever I purchase a luger, I collect all of its accesories. I found my rarest in Cartridge Collector. Tks for your help and valued opinions!
