You have received early Luger pistol ammunition made by DWM-Karlshure. If it is carbine ammunition, the tip would normally have a black tip with a cartridge headstamp 471A. To the best of my knowledge, the early boxes themselves are a light greenish color and there are three different types of labels which are green, blue and orange. It is possible that the later boxes (or those for export) produced during 1910-1913 are a light brownish color. If I am correct, the orange label is for hollow point cartridges.

I hope this information is helpful to you. It is a shame that the two boxes are missing the lid which would have boosted their value.
