WWII Vintage Ammo

bobcam1 · 12-07-2008, 08:30 PM

Hello, all.....
I recently obtained a box of 16 rounds of WWII-era ammunition, to display with my Luger (thanks, Russ....

)
These are lacquered steel cases with iron core bullets.

Is there a point at which ammunition of this type becomes unstable or is simply a danger to someone, due to it's age?

These rounds look as though they were made yesterday, and have no outward signs of deterioration, but I thought that I would err on the side of caution, and check with the experts here.

Here are some photos of the ammo in question.

Thanks,
Bob.
