Hi,

No problem, it's one of the few items I can handle over here without too much problems. The ammo is not getting cheaper, but there is still plenty around, sometimes even complete packing cases show up from old arsenal supplies. The quality is of such a nature that shooting it is a good way to ruin a perfectly good barrel pretty quickly, so it's strictly collecting ammo only, this stuff.

I wouldn't pay top dollar for it, but if you can get some at a decent price it's always nice to have. And the large amount of suppliers and manufacturers makes it a collecting area in itself.

I'm picking up part of a collection myself in a few weeks that consists of a little over 100 separate WW2 rounds so that will keep me busy for a while as well

The WW1 era ammunition is more expensive, less boxes survived and less ammo survived. Especially the early DWM ammunition, with the trapezoid bullet, in original packing is hard to come by.
