Default 1918 ammo - luger & browning long

I came across these two today - was at an antique shop, was totally surprised to find them in a guy who sells militaria! They'll look a lot nicer after I wrap them in shrink wrap...

First box is 9mm Browning Long - unopened!
Quote:
9mm Browning Long is similar to the 9×19mm Parabellum, but has a slightly longer casing and is semi-rimmed, so the cartridge headspaces on the rim. 9×19mm also uses a heavier bullet and is more powerful. Ammunition was produced in Belgium, France, England, Sweden[4] and the United States. There was some production in Germany during World War I for the Ottoman Empire, and the cartridge was also used in South Africa.
And the 2nd is a 1918 box of 9mm Luger

Both military, interesting finds
