Old winchester 9mm, date needed
Hi,
This box belongs to a fellow Dutch collector. He's interested to learn when these boxes were made and what the rounds and headstamps actually look like (without opening the still sealed box). We know it dates from after 1931 (takeover by Winchester Cartridge Co. / Olin) and by the looks of it, it will date from the 1940s/1950s. We also know that the Dutch East Indies army (KNIL) also ordered batches of Winchester made 9mm rounds in 1941 and 1942 for use in their P08's and sub-machine guns. (Ordering from Germany had become a bit of a problem after the outbreak of WW2 and the invasion by Germany). Those overpowered rounds were the cause of many a damaged KNIL luger.... (there is a lotnumber printed on the side, LOT 22001) |
