coffeee,

can you please share some closeup photos of the marks and detail information on your American Eagle?

Depending on the serial number is can be quite rare or rather commonplace. Would you please post the serial number?

The WW2 ammo in UNBROKEN boxes is worth about $20 on todays collector market... yours are broken open so somewhat less than $20 per full box.

Don't shoot this stuff since it is corrosive, but keep it as an accessory to your WW2 guns.

The machine marks on wartime p-38's is pretty common. Only their commercial guns really escaped leaving the factory like this. to learn more about P-38's visit our sister forum (that exists under the same roof) is p38forum.com They are neat guns, and I have one, but they don't hold the fascination or intrigue that the Luger does in my opinion.

The cleaning rod appears to me to be Portuguese contract, but may just be a commercial DWM cleaning rod...

The cleaning rods like this are not that common, and vary in price. You can find them on ebay occasionally but the price range escapes me at the moment... guessing around $35.00 to $75.00 or more.
